Let them tell their own stories, and I would do whatever I could to help those books find a wide audience! Much better, I thought, to use my experience and my platform at Disney to put the spotlight on other great writers who are actually from those cultures and know the mythologies* better than I do. Over the years, I’ve gotten many questions from my fans about whether I might write about various world mythologies, but in most cases I knew I wasn’t the best person to write those books.

All these will be books that my editor Stephanie Lurie and I feel will appeal to kids who like my books. We aim to publish about four books a year.

Such ideas, Hayek argued, were now becoming similarly accepted in Britain and the USA. On its publication in 1944, The Road to Serfdom caused a sensation. Hayek set out the danger posed to freedom by attempts to apply the principles of wartime economic and social planning to the problems of peacetime.
