　　“A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right", says Mollie Hunter. Born and brought up near Edinburgh, Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people．She firmly believes that there is and should always be a wider
　　audience for any good book whatever its main market is．In Mollie’s opinion, it is necessary to
　　mall use of language and she enjoys telling a story, which is what every writer should be doing．"If you aren't telling a story, you’re a very dead writer indeed．" she says．With the chief function of a writer being to entertain, Mollie is indeed an entertainer．"I have this great love of
　　not only the meaning of language but of the music of language,’ she says, "This love goes back to early childhood．I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be   when
　　we grew up and, because my family always had dogs, and I was very good at handling them, I said I wanted to work with dogs, and the teacher always said‘Nonsense, Mollie; dear, you’ll be a  writer.’ So finally I thought  that this  woman  must have  something,  since  she was  a  good
　　teacher and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer．"
　　This childhood intention is described in her novel, A Sound of Chariots, which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical （自传体的） and gives a picture both of Mollie’s ambition and her struggle towards its achievement．Thoughts of her childhood inevitably（不可避免地）brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with
　　buttercup（金凤花）meadows and strawberry fields—sadly now covered with modern houses．"I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood．I’ll never go back, "she said．"Never．When I set one of my books in Scotland” she said,“I can recall my romantic feelings as a child playing in those fields, or watching the village blacksmith at work． And that’s important because children now know so much so early that romance can't exist for them, as it did for us．”
　　25．What does Mollie Hunter feel about the nature of a good book?
