2010 and fairy tales
When i was growing up I wasn't very interested in reading. I wasn't interested in it at all until my "adult years"..whatever that means. After seeing the motion picture "The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe"..and being a big fan of C.S. Lewis..i decided it would be nice to read all the Chronicles of Narnia. Although intended for a young reader...they have much to offer us "grown ups"..whatever that means. The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe was the second book in the chronicles (although written first). I enjoyed The Magicians Nephew which is the first book...it gave me great insight to the books to follow. But there is something magical about the Lion the which and the wardrobe. When i first opened it i read the dedication that C.S. Lewis wrote to his Goddaughter and it brought me to tears...he wrote:
My Dear Lucy,
I wrote this story for you, but when i began it I had not realized that girls grow faster than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. I shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand a work you say, but i shall still be your affectionate Godfather,
C.S. Lewis
It wasn't so much what he wrote that tugged my heart...but more of the truth in one sentence. "But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again...". I found much truth in this sentence last night at midnight..28 yrs old bundled up in bed next to my husband..content with my reading light on and my Narnia book in hand.
New Year...New decade..More life! Happy 2010!
Old enough for fairy tales,
JM
