To The Editor:

I was fortunate to grow up in a household where books and ideas were important. Additionally, my Irish mother’s stories of make-believe encouraged in me a lifelong romance with fantasy, mystery and enchantment. The image of the entranceway to the Mystic & Noank Library included in a recent issue of Bookends is for me a continuing invitation and welcome to that magical world of wonderment and understanding I was lucky to enjoy as a child and even now as an adult.

“What a day for a daydream” sang the Lovin’ Spoonful 50 years ago, a time-honored reminder that luckily, for all, one is never too old to dream, or get lost inside a book.
