I don't know if anything I write will endure, but I do try to write it as a narrative that will not only challenge but also entice the reader into the lives of children.
Some men are like nails, very easily drawn; others however are more like rivets never drawn at all.
Like all sciences and all valuations, the psychology of women has hitherto been considered only from the point of view of men.
Hardest of all for Europeans to negotiate are traditional African religions, whose transactions with unseen powers are central to the running of life in many areas, the main weapon in the struggle against the forces of evil.
