I'm so grateful I read books like The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of the Rings growing up. Lewis and Tolkien have such a way with language that I learned to love not only the story but also the words that comprised the story. Such a great summation of the delight one can experience reading!
What a delightful journey. I don't think I ever noticed the reverse Italics of the title before. And now I want to go find my own childhood copy to see how the Italics are handled. It's long since lost the dust jacket, though.
