re: #118 jaunte

I’m curious about why anyone would object to stories about fantasy witchcraft, (unless one believed it might have a chance of working).

My absolutely favorite books as a kid were the Evelyn Nesbit series “Five Children and It,” “The Phoenix and the Carpet” and the third book about some prehistoric magical creature. My kids all read these books and loved them.

Then I read “Lord of the Rings” as a teenager. For some reason, only my #5 son loved these books, and he only read them after the first movie in the trilogy came out.
