My apologies for again quoting Terry Pratchett, but he had this to say
about his own children's story, 'Hogfather':
"Let's see, now... in HOGFATHER there are a number of stabbings,
someone's killed by a man made of knives, someone's killed by the
dark, and someone has just been killed by a wardrobe.
It's a book about the magic of childhood. You can tell."
Cheers,
