“This is one of the chief differences between a child's experience of a favorite book and an educated adult's. For the adult, a book may be a #work of art, possibly a very great one, but for the child reader, certain books are universes. If we are lucky, we retain some of that capacity to be immersed in a story.”

First day out of the apartment in over a week thanks to the food poisoning.... easing into it with a book that‘s been stalking me for months. 😊😊😊 (Also, because it‘s Mumbai, that very fetching looking shortbread there is fennel flavoured and not one I‘d recommend for a sweet repast 😂🤦🏻♀️😂).
pickI posted about this book a few weeks ago when I was in the middle of reading it, but I‘m still thinking about it now that I‘m finished. It was so engaging and a different kind of look into the Chronicles of Narnia. She made me think about so many aspects of the story: the characters, the setting, the influences from Lewis‘s life, and all kinds of little details. It was a accessible literary criticism, which I find to be rare. Highly recommend!
I don't know if this is the right book for this quote or not. I just saw the photo and had to share because I love it.
It‘s been a hot minute since I posted, but I‘m absolutely loving this book & had to share. This is a literary criticism of the Chronicles of Narnia, with bits of C. S. Lewis biography & the author‘s own experiences reading the books thrown in. It‘s just so interesting—so far we‘ve discussed such topics as autonomy, gender, the importance of friendship, language, and morality. I‘m not even halfway done. This book is a treat! Also, I love the cover!
Hope everyone finds the time to time jump into a portal over the weekend😉 saw this quote & just had to share.✨
