About this title: On the train, a touch of inevitable reaction set in, and Rogers asked himself why he was going. For a sentimental journey was hardly in his line, it seemed. But after the conductor shouted that the Starlight Express is off to Fairyland, the forgotten mystery of his childhood came back to him.
