"The books about children which I have read are always concerned with those of five years or more, when they have been urged, moulded, dragged into some semblance of adults. I have asked myself if it is possible to write an interesting book about those mysterious beings who live in a grand tempestuous world of their own into which we can no more than enviously peer. This story of two toddlers is an attempt to answer that question." ~ M. de l. R.
