It is extremely important to me to write for children.

I always love writing about children.

Writing for children is an art in itself, and a most interesting one.

We write not only for children but also for their parents. They, too, are serious children.

I do not really write for children: I write only for me and for the few people I hope to please, and I write for the story.

You must write for children in the same way as you do for adults, only better.

You must never lose that touch of childishness. You need it if you wish to write for children, if you wish to understand the heart of a child. Children are good, you see. And they expect good.

I mean, I don't write for kids.

I loved to write when I was a child. I wrote, but I always thought it was something that you did as a child, then you put away childish things.
