To my husband, Charles Criswell Arbuthnot, whose wise counsel and gay companionship have made this long task pssible and worth while,

|
| Quotations |
|
| Last words |
Above all, to balance the speed and confusions of our modern world, we need to find books which build strength and steadfastness in the child, books which develop his faith in the essential decency and nobility of life, books which give him a feeling for the wonder and the goodness of the universe.
