Mirror, Mirror on the Wall comes with the last pages bound by a yellow paper band, slim but snug, that boasts that anyone who "can resist the startling ending" should return the book to the publishers, band still intact, for full reimbursement.

But there was no innocence in Leduc's life, and there is none in her art. The Taxi is a story of children, but it is no Petit Prince. Leduc's children are beyond their years in sophistication, their age of innocence informed with...
