I've gotten through his essay on children's literature; it was wild to realize that it actually pre-dated his first foray into writing children's lit, since Stuart Little and Charlotte's Web are such classics now! I'm curious to know if his "conclusion that it must be a lot of fun to write for children— reasonably easy work, perhaps even important work" changed at all with experience. :P
