The world of pure imagination

This anecdote from Newsweek's cover story on The Lord of the Rings captures with stunning poignance the half-magic world that children live in:

?I was staying with some friends in England, and it was New Year?s,? says Liv Tyler by e-mail. ?My husband, Roy, and I were sleeping, and I woke to the sound of our friends? two little boys. They were going around the bedrooms opening the doors and looking in. When they got to our door, one little boy went to open it and the other said, ?No! Don?t open that door. The princess is sleeping in there.? It made my heart leap out of my chest."

I confess that I've enjoyed the Lord of the Rings movies more than nearly any others in recent memory. I think it's because it allows me to spend a little more time in the world of heroism and wizardly that I roamed freely as a child.
