Once in a while,
I’ll remember a book I read that I can’t find, despite my crazed Googling. I read this particular book (or books) a long time ago, in some library. My memory of it is hazy and incredibly generic. A bunch of kids discover another world. There’s maybe a sword, definitely a castle or a tower. I remember the word “white,” but it’s not E.B. White and it’s not T.H. White, and the series was old, maybe a trilogy, and it may have been one of those allegorical things like Narnia, which increases the possibility that it was vaguely in a Christian category and thus forgotten. It probably wasn’t even very good. I just want to find it again, to say: HA, that was it. Search resolved. Quest over. But I can’t, so it just continues to bother me, and it feels like some more of that world dies each time I think about it, because I can’t really think about it, and I remember it less and less. Was there a waterfall, a bridge carved from rock? How did the kids even get to that other place? Did it happen, was it really there?
