Thanks. Yes, that is a very good essay. I'm not greatly fond of Lewis but I like everything he says here.
I've gotten into the habit of buying toys from charity shops- which I pass on to the numerous children in my life- but only after I've played with them first. If I had the money I would buy a really good doll's house (for my grand-daughters, of course- ahem)
I need to read The Magic Faraway Tree. It keeps cropping up. I suppose it is possible to run a literary production line and still- occasionally- write something especially good. Dumas, for instance, churned out product with the help of collaborators and most of it is forgotten and unread but in amongst the dross is the Three Musketeers.
