This book is one of my own special favourites. I saved it up for years, thinking about it, working it out, saying to myself: \u201cOne day, when I\u2019ve plenty of time, and want to really enjoy myself\u2014I\u2019ll begin it!\u201d I should say that of one\u2019s output, five books are work to one that is real pleasure. Crooked House<\/span><\/span> was pure pleasure. I often wonder whether people who read a book can know if it has been hard work or a pleasure to write? Again and again someone says to me: \u201cHow<\/span><\/span> you must have enjoyed writing so and so!\u201d This about a book that obstinately refused to come out the way you wished, whose characters are sticky, the plot needlessly involved, and the dialogue stilted\u2014or so you think yourself. But perhaps the author isn\u2019t the best judge of his or her own work. However, practically everybody has liked Crooked House,<\/span><\/span> so I am justified in my own belief that it is one of my best.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know what put the Leonides family into my head\u2014they just came. Then, like Topsy \u201cthey growed.\u201d<\/p>\n

I feel that I myself was only their scribe.<\/p>\n
