    EPIGRAPH: Hark, the footsteps of the night, Fade in silence long. Quiet chirps my reading light Like a cricket's song. Books inviting us to read On the bookshelves stand. Piers for bridges that will lead Into fairyland.

    EPIGRAPH: The moon shone in the rocking horse's eye, and in the mouse's eye, too, when Tolly fetched it out from under his pillow to see. The clock went tick-tock, and in the stillness he thought he heard little bare feet running across the floor, then laughter and whispering, and a sound like the pages of a big book being turned over.
    FROM: The Children of Green Knowe, (1954), NULL, UK
