I feel like there's a trend in a lot of children's literature that makes magic/adventures the opposite of growing up, so you get a lot of "you have to leave Narnia/forget the Old Ones/stop flying off to Neverland if you want to grow up" stories. And I just - I believe that less and less every year I get older. Because I'm pretty much a grownup at this point, but I still want to go to Narnia as badly as I ever did - and I don't think I'm any less likely to get there now than I was when I was nine.
