All of us readers probably have a special place in the literary world that we like to revisit when the real world deals its punches a bit too hard and frequently. Perhaps it is a place we found as children and it has left a feeling of security in us. Or it could be a realm we stumbled onto as adults and now seek comfort from it. Sometimes just thinking about that happy place may help. My personal happy places include The Hundred Acre Wood from A.A.Milne's Winnie-The-Pooh, Wonderland from Lewis Carroll's Alice In Wonderland, Pippi Longstocking's house from Astrid Lindgren's book Pippi Longstocking, Moominvalley from Tove Jansson's books, Cherry Tree Lane from P.L.Travers's Mary Poppins novels, Earthsea from Ursula Le Guin's books, Discworld from Terry Pratchett's novels. It seems almost all of my happy places reside in children's books... I guess it is easier to associate pure happiness with places one has first visited as a child.
