"A man under medical sentence of death (a diagnosis of cancer) goes back to his childhood home and recalls there an amazing dream which he had falsified and conventionalized in a story written long ago for his school magazine. The central figure of the dream was a comic, foul-mouthed monarch of an unsuspected world 'under the garden,' which is entered by the little boy through a cave formed out of the enormous roots of an ancient tree." (Milton Hindus)
