【 Radio Symposium: Lewis Carroll: Alice in Wonderland [1942] 】
VAN DOREN: Do we really mean that Alice in Wonderland has declined as a children's book because of its cruelty?
RUSSELL: Partly, I think, but partly also from competition with other books. Grown-ups always tend to think of children with a certain contempt as dear little things, and when a child feels that element in a book he resents it. If he can get a book that doesn't regard him as a dear little thing he's very pleased. But grown-ups will always buy that sort of book and give it to children unless the children educate them.
