The Essay
“Agatha Christie – a Well-known Detective Novelist and Playwright”
.
“Lastly, she pictured to herself how this same little
sister of hers would, in the after-time, be herself a
grown woman; and how she would keep, through
all her riper years, the simple and loving heart of
her childhood: and how she would gather about
her other little children, and make their eyes bright
and eager with many a strange tale : and how
she would feel with all their simple sorrows, and
find a pleasure in all their simple joys, remembering
her own child-life and the happy summer days.”
Lewis Carroll,
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland,
1865.
