| Introduction | sleep avoids me. blue describes me. books release me. words escape me. La vida continua. I've an unnatural love for words. I love to read and can often be found, book in hand, on wood piers, grassy patches in cemeteries, swings, beneath big trees or near coffee! [I might be a Mother Fool’s addict.] I have watched my writing mold and form under direction of professors, peers, friends and members of Madison’s artistic community. Now, if I'm without words, my spine gently buckles and my shoulders fall to ground. 'i ask the indulgence of the children who may read this book for dedicating it to a grown-up. i have a serious reason: he is the best friend i have in the world. i have another reason: this grown-up understands everything, even books about children. i have a third reason: he lives in france where he is hungry and cold. he needs cheering up. if all these reasons are not enough i will dedicate the book to a child from whom this grown-up grew. all grown-ups were once children-- although few of them remember it. and so i correct my dedication: to leon werth when he was a little boy --Antonie de Saint-Exupery |
