Books Quote by Lloyd Alexander

“Writing for children can be completely honest in non-cynical ways. In adult books you're required to be cynical. It embarrasses us to say positive things. You can have affection and hope in children's books, but that is out of fashion in adult fiction.” quote by Lloyd Alexander
