There is the myth that writing books for children is easier than writing books for grownups, whereas we know that truly great books for children are works of genius, whether it's 'Alice in Wonderland' or the 'Gruffalo' or 'Northern Lights'. When it's a great book, it's a great book, whether it's for children or not.

Climate is what we expect, weather is what we get...When a man's stomach is full...Leave the atom alone...Be thou incapable of change in that which is right...There is a fine line between censorship and good taste...For myself, I am an optimist...
