You don't have books?! ' Rose almost sat up and banged her head on the roof rafters. That made the rats jump. 'How can you live without reading?'' Pretty well so far.' I laughed. 'Stories are just made-up stuff anyway.'' Says who? I think they're a different way of telling the truth.' Then, 'Seriously - no books? Oh, Ella, you have no idea what you've been missing! Stories are food and drink and life.. I mean, haven't you heard the story about a girl who made a gown out of starlight?'' A gown out of starlight? How could you even do that..?'' Well, ' said Rose. 'Once upon a time..' And that was that. No sleep for me till Rose wrapped up with a triumphant The End. . Lucy Adlington
About This Quote

If you are not familiar with the Alice in Wonderland story, it goes like this: 'Once upon a time there was a little girl named Alice, who lived with her family in a town called Wonderland. They didn't have books, or any knowledge of them; but that didn't stop the little girl. She made her own out of stars one night, when she saw two stars flying through the sky together. 'One for you, and one for me!' cried Alice, when she saw the stars. And they were very beautiful ones too.
