| Summary | "David Blaize and the Blue Door" by E. F. Benson is a whimsical children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around David Blaize, a young boy who believes in the existence of a magical "real world" lying just beneath his mundane everyday experience. As he approaches the age of ten, he is determined to find this hidden world before he becomes too grown-up to explore it. At the start of the story, David is characterized by his lively imagination and frustration with the limits of adult explanations. He often feels that grown-ups are too sleepily wrapped up in their own realities to recognize the magical elements of life. One night, David discovers a beautiful blue door hidden beneath his pillow, which leads him to an enchanting passageway filled with dancing cats and all the characters from his childhood stories, including the Noah family and whimsical animals. This opening sets the stage for a fantastical adventure as David navigates this vibrant world, meeting a range of colorful characters while grappling with his own identity and the grown-up world he wishes to understand.
