The Secret of the Magic
A Note from the Author
Kiki’s Delivery Service was inspired by one of my daughter’s drawings. It was a picture of a witch flying through the sky, listening to a radio. Musical notes danced around her.

I knew I would fly as an author, because writing fiction made me feel as though I had wings. I chose to make the protagonist witch a twelve-year-old, just like my daughter at the time. That’s how Kiki’s Delivery Service got its start.
I decided one thing right from the beginning: Kiki’s sole power would be flying through the sky on her broom. With only one type of magic, Kiki would need to use her brain to solve problems. Overcoming conflicts would help her grow, add some ups and downs to the story and make her journey more interesting.
[…]
And as I continued writing Kiki’s story, I realized that even if you can’t fly through the air like Kiki, you have your own unique power that is equally important.
[…]
I’ve come to believe that everyone has some type of magic inside them. If a person can find their magic and lovingly cultivate it, they’ll truly feel alive every day.

poate ca nu este o carte pentru copii (exista carti de povesti doar pentru copii? incetam vreodata de a fi copii?), asa cum nici ecranizarea nu este…
Impresie. Albastru inefabil...
