Zitat des Tages von Jenny Nimmo:
Every book that you pick up takes you a step away from your real world, but if you read a book about magic, it takes you an extra two steps.
My father died when I was quite small, so my uncle used to buy me books and read them to me.
I had written two or three books before my husband noticed that in every one of them a family member was missing. He suggested that it was because my father's death, when I was five, utterly changed my world. I can only suppose he is right and that this is the reason I am drawn to a narrative where someone's life is changed by loss.
