출판사 서평

옛날옛적에 이야기.The Book of Once on a Time, by A. A. Milne
PREFACE
This book was written in 1915, for the amusement of my wife and myself at a time when
life was not very amusing; it was published at the end of 1917; was reviewed, if at all, as one
of a parcel, by some brisk uncle from the Tiny Tots Department; and died quietly, without
seriously detracting from the interest which was being taken in the World War, then in progress.
It may be that the circumstances in which the book was written have made me unduly
fond of it. When, as sometimes happens, I am introduced to a stranger who starts the
conversation on the right lines by praising, however insincerely, my books, I always say, "But
you have not read the best one." Nine times out of ten it is so. The tenth takes a place in the
family calendar; St. Michael or St. Agatha, as the case may be, a red-letter or black-letter saint,
according to whether the book was bought or borrowed. But there are few such saints, and both
my publisher and I have the feeling (so common to publishers and authors) that there ought to
be more. So here comes the book again, in a new dress, with new decorations, yet much, as far
as I am concerned, the same book, making the same appeal to me; but, let us hope, a new appeal,
this time, to others.
For whom, then, is the book intended? That is the trouble. Unless I can say, "For those,
young or old, who like the things which I like," I find it difficult to answer. Is it a children's
book? Well, what do we mean by that? Is The Wind in the Willows a children's book? Is Alice
in Wonderland? Is Treasure Island? These are masterpieces which we read with pleasure as
children, but with how much more pleasure when we are grown-up. In any case what do we
mean by "children"? A boy of three, a girl of six, a boy of ten, a girl of fourteen―are they all
to like the same thing? And is a book "suitable for a boy of twelve" any more likely to please
a boy of twelve than a modern novel is likely to please a man of thirty-seven; even if the novel
be described truly as "suitable for a man of thirty-seven"? I confess that I cannot grapple with
these difficult problems.
