In children's literature the grown-up wants a comforting image of childhood, or just a familiar name or story; the child wants a boat, a way out, an example of the life beyond. The parent wants to get back, the child wants to get out.

Lovely image, who painted it? I really like that quote, too- it's so true!
Jeane, the painter is George Dunlop Leslie, (1835-1921) and the painting is called Alice in Wonderland.
