“Werewolves are partisans, guerrilla fighters. Radio Werewolf broadcasts to them from somewhere in enemy-occupied territory.'

'Don't pretend to the children,' Mama tells him. 'The radio station isn't far from Berlin. They're figments of your imagination, these news items.'

Papa looks disappointed. 'I'd prefer to call them products of poetic licence,' he says. 'They're simply the news as it ought to be. Don't you realise that our reports are bound to come true? Don't you realise that we broadcast them so that, somewhere out there, the Werewolves will make them come true? All our news items will become a reality if only we put them over in the right tone of voice.”
