Zitat des Tages von Edward Carey:
I had a very happy childhood. But I was sent off to boarding school at quite a young age, this massive Victorian house that was suffocated in ivy. I think there is a part of that school in 'Heap House.'
Part of the joy of writing for kids is that you have to have a real adventure story. You can get really involved in the fantastic in a way that perhaps you can't so much in adult fiction.
I was sent to Naval School when I was young, and it didn't do me any good in any other form, but it made me get up in the morning.
Every new writing project, every new artistic project, needs to be protected so it can grow on its own before it begins to creep out into the world.
