Quotes
"Children are ... highly critical. And they lose interest so quickly.
You have to keep things ticking along. And if you think a child is getting
bored, you must think up something that jolts it back. Something that tickles.
You have to know what children like."
"As I went on, the stories became less and less realistic and more
fantastic. But becoming a writer was pure fluke. Without being asked to, I
doubt if I'd ever have thought of it."
"A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men."
"The writer for children must be a jokey sort of a fellow. He must
like simple tricks and jokes and riddles and other childish things. He must be
... inventive. He must have a really first-class plot."
