Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Every Day Essays
I wonder why children wake so early in the morning? It isn't as if they were ready to go to bed early; on the contrary, one never finds the moment when they are willing to give up the joys of the waking world. These seem to have to be wrested from them by force, either by Mother Nature or by the less stern human mother. I have seen Jamie, for example, so drowsy that he would nod off be tween mouthfuls at the table, yet when you asked him if he didn't want to go to sleep, he would resent the question as utterly unwar rantable. And in the morning his blue eyes fly open as if the first touch of daylight were some magic talisman calling him back instant ly from the land of dreams.
