Description:	Writes "There is nothing like proper criticism. Sometimes I would like to ask anyone - the man in the street to come in and give his opinion - or better still a little child! Really I think our little children are our best critics. They do not flatter or try to say nice things. They say what they think, in their own way - and their tastes have not been warped by 'rules', 'schools', 'principles', etc".
