In Lewis's dedication - to his god-daughter named Lucy - he notes that books do not grow as quickly as little girls and that by the time it will be available to her she'll be too old for fairy stories...but that there will come a time when she is no longer too old for fairy stories, and at that point he wants her to read it. I'm hoping that happens for Morford if he hasn't managed to kill off his own imagination by then. He's working at it as hard as he can. I make it an even bet.

Bill, Morford's entire life is one gigantic, fabulous, feather-boa-wrapped fairytale.

"Fairy Stories" ... I'd have thought Miss Morford would like Fairy Stories.
