این اولین کتاب نسبتاً جدی‌ای بود که هدیه گرفتم و خواندم. دوم یا سوم دبستان بودم. مرد جوانی که در آن زمان منشی پدرم بود، فکر کنم به مناسبت تولدم این را به من هدیه داد. صفحه‌ی اولش هم برایم چیزی نوشته بود. با ولع خواندمش. اگر امروز خودم را ذره‌ای کتاب‌خوان بدانم، قطعاً این کتاب در آنچه هستم، نقش پررنگی داشته است.
