Thinking People Bigger Than Life

More From Stan Lee

[fairy tales] are like a journey to the woods and the many ways you can get lost. some people say it's not a good idea to read fairy tales to anyone under the age of eight because they are brutal and raw. when i was a kid i often felt that kids's books were speaking down to me, but i never felt that way about fairy tales. they are bloody and scary, but so is life.

I have very happy memories of fairy tales. my mother used to take me to the library in toronto to check out the fairy tales. and she was an actress, so she used to act out for me the different characters in all these fairy tales.

I think almost everybody enjoyed fairy tales when they were young, tales of witches and ogres and monsters and dragons and so forth. you get a little bit older, you can't read fairy tales any more.

In 1491 the inka ruled the greatest empire on earth. bigger than ming dynasty china, bigger than ivan the great’s expanding russia, bigger than songhay in the sahel or powerful great zimbabwe in the west africa tablelands, bigger than the cresting ottoman empire, bigger than the triple alliance (as the aztec empire is more precisely known), bigger by far than any european state, the inka dominion extended over a staggering thirty-two degrees of latitude—as if a single power held sway from st. petersburg to cairo.

I don't think you ever outgrow your love for things that are bigger than life and more colorful than the average life. and somehow i feel that these comic book stories are like fairy tales for older people, because they have the same qualities.

I wrote this story for you, but when i began it i had not realized that girls grow quicker than books. as a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. but some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. you can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. i shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand a word you say, but i shall still be your affectionate godfather, c. s. lewis.
