“I wish that the adults who are 'in power' cared more about what their children read.

“Of course all children's literature is not fantastic, so all fantastic books need not be children's books. It is still possible, even in an age so ferociously anti-romantic as our own, to write fantastic stories for adults: though you will usually need to have made a name in some more fashionable kind of literature before anyone will publish them.” NeedsWritingKindChildrenMadeStillsBookStoriesAgeCoursesLiteratureNamesAdultsFantasticPublishFashionableChildren's BooksChildren's Literature Book:On Stories: And Other Essays on Literature Source: On Stories: And Other Essays on Literature
