| Mr Khan said: There's a good CS Lewis quote that puts people in their place in these instances, but i forget what it is... |
here are a few:
"...a children's story which is only enjoyed by children is a bad children's story."
"When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty, I read them openly. When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."
"Those of us who are blamed when old for reading childish books were blamed when children for reading books too old for us. No reader worth his salt trots along in obedience to a time table."
