“Says Dan Stevens, “It took a while to shoot the scene by the coconut stall at the fun fair, so Michelle (Mary) and I had a competition. I think she beat me 10-1 - she was uncannily good. The crew were very disappointed in me. To be beaten by a woman is bad enough,…

Instead of which, if I can retain a child’s awareness and joy, and *be* fifty-one, then I will really learn what it means to be grownup.” —

Madeleine L’Engle

Another quote of hers that seemed a fitting response to this piece by Joel Stein on children’s books.
