Secret spaces of childhood

About this book

Collection of adult reflections expressed in essays, poems, and stories that capture the daydream-like quality of our childhood visions and fantasy worlds, a time when imagination had yet to be banished from reality. Goodenough gathers a body of writers, poets, and thinkers who illustrate the urge we had as children to hide out, build worlds within our worlds, and create spaces as real and potent as any outside the limitless sphere of our younger, inner lives – from publisher description.
