C. S. Lewis once wrote: ÔWhere the childrenÕs story is simply the right form for what the author has to say, then of course readers who want to hear that, will read the story or re-read it, at any ageÉ I am almost inclined to set it up as a canon that a childrenÕs story which is enjoyed only by children is a bad childrenÕs story. The good ones last.Õ (Of Other Worlds: Essays and Stories) This holds very true for the stories (and poems) in this marvellous collection Ñ they have found their right form, and can be read with enjoyment from anyone aged 8 upwards.
