THE HEART'S DESIRE.
If I only had time I could tell you lots of things.

For instance, how, in spite of the advice of the Psammead, the four children did, one very wet day, go through their Amulet Arch into the golden desert, and there find the great Temple of Baalbec and meet with the Phoenix whom they never thought to see again.

And how the Phoenix did not remember them at all until it went into a sort of prophetic trance--if that can be called remembering.

But, alas! I HAVEN'T time, so I must leave all that out though it was a wonderfully thrilling adventure.
