Meaning
This reads as a description of storytelling at its best, where enjoyment and instruction arrive together. It points to books that seem light or absorbing on the surface but leave something useful behind, even without announcing it. In practice, it lands with a reader who finishes a novel for pleasure and only later notices how much it has shaped their thinking.
