Without going into the deeper psychological explanations, I think it is a beautifully crafted book that speaks very clearly and suggestively to the imagination and i see it as speaking more so to the imaginations of children.

I thnk one of its biggest strengths is that much of its imagery is about creative seeds which the reader is at liberty to expand on in as much or as little depth as they chooose depnding on how much it inspires them.

A child would go to sleep at night with dreams of faraway fantasies in their minds and monsters who needn't be scary.

I love it. I love its non restrictive nature and the onus it places on the readers imagination.

To really get it you have to see the look on a kids face when they are having it read to them.
