Lloyd Alexander
Hope is an essential thread in the fabric of all fantasies, an Ariadne's thread to guide us out of the labyrinth ... Human beings have always needed hope, and surely now more than ever.
Lloyd Alexander
Story, finally, is humanity's autobiography.
Lloyd Alexander
Ever since human beings learned to talk to each other, we've been fascinated with storytelling of every kind. Blessed (or cursed) with insatiable curiosity, we have to know what happens next.
Lloyd Alexander
