This book is dedicated to an adult, Jennifer Ridyard,
and to Cameron and Alistair Ridyard,
who will be adults all too soon.
For in every adult dwells the child that was,
and in every child lies the adult that will be.
Deeper meaning resides in the fairy tales
told to me in my childhood than in the
truth that is taught by life.
--FRIEDRICH SCHILLER (1759-1805)
