I am reminded of the book in which the villain’s incompetent minions put up signs saying things like
This is a very safe road.
This road has won first prize in the All-Ireland Safe Roads Contest.
A boy can bicycle along it with his eyes shut.
Try it today!

Proving once again that the world is tiny, I happen to have the exact book on the shelf next to me!

With some (e.g. Nesbit’s The Magic City) I think it’s explicitly about growing up: the fantasy-play can make you a better person, but then you’ll put away childish things, because there’s no room for fantasy or wonder in grown-up life. (Says the grown-up who’s made a career out of writing about fantasy and wonder…)

Someone as a joke has suggested my wife should get a Command Stave for moving boardgame pieces as she’s short.
