Evil Cannot Be Conquered By

It Was 1943. The U.s. Had Already Entered World War Ii, So I Decided To Join The Army.

I Came To Fantasy Fairly Late. For Some Ten Years, I Had Been Happily Writing Fiction And Non-fiction For Adults. But I Always Loved Fantasy, Whether For Adults Or Young People; And At That Particular Point In My Life, I Wanted To Try It, To Understand It, As Part Of The Process Of Learning To Be A Writer. The Results Were Beyond Anything I Could Have Foreseen. As I've Said Often And Elsewhere, It Was The Most Creative And Liberating Experience Of My Life.

You Know How Chickens Are, Imagining The World Coming To An End One Moment, Then Pecking Corn The Next.

Who But Lovers Dream Alike?

The Journey Is The Treasure.
