- Epigraph
- The moving accident is not my trade;
To freeze the blood I have no ready arts:
'Tis my delight, alone in summer shade,
To pipe a simple song for thinking hearts.
William Wordsworth
"Hart-Leap Well," 1800 - Dedication
- For Stephen, my partner in all things that matter most, including the pleasures of children's literature
- First words
- Introduction | Into the narrow, quiet, regular life of a child growing up in Toronto in the 1940s -- the overgrown backyard, the alleyway where I bounced my ball against the side of the house, the bus trips to piano lessons -... (show all)- suddenly there thundered a huge caravan of exotic warriors, heroines and horses, swords flashing, animals bellowing, clouds of dust and incense, the blare of horns calling me to adventure.
Chapter One | Taking the Plunge | ... | Like all mothers, I used to ask my son, when he was six and seven, what he had done in school that day.
