This is the kind of thing I read from about the age of twelve on. My own children are starting to discover it, as well, and this pleases me to no end. Mostly good writing, some stretched deductions, and a growing sense that as generations pass by they will find this less and less accessible. This grieves me, and I wonder if readers of The Fairie Queen ever felt this way. These stories nevertheless expand the curious mind, sharpen logic, and endear the reader to characters that have felt so real that many do not realize they were fiction. Good show, Watson!
