She enmeshes us so skillfully, so
completely in these little worlds with their little people and their little, predictable
words, that it is easy for us the entertained to forget the vast spells she weaves. Here,
in these marvel-filled books, as in life, when we fail to see what is right in front of us
all the time, we forget at our own risk that the luminous veil is transparent.
Only look.
