WORDS ABOUT WORDS
A children's writer should, ideally, be a dedicated semi-lunatic, a kind of poet with a marvellous idea, who, preferably, when not committing the marvellous idea to paper, does something else of a quite different kind, so as to acquire new and rich experience.
—Joan Aiken, English writer, The Way to Write for Children, 1982
