I went away in my head, into a book. That was where I went whenever real life was too hard or too inflexible.

Writing imaginative tales for the young is like sending coals to Newcastle. For coals.

That's the trouble with living things. Don't last very long. Kittens one day, old cats the next. And then just memories. And the memories fade and blend and smudge together.
