    'It would be nice, and fairly nearly true, to say
that "from that time forth Eustace was a different
boy."  To be strictly accurate, he began to be a
different boy. He had relapses. There were still many
days when he could be very tiresome. But most of those
I shall not notice. The cure had begun.

    Doesn't sound all that simplistic or 'fairytale'
to me. In fact Eustace goes on having his tiresome
moments right up to 'The Last Battle'.
