_______________

A pocket-sized, unmissable essay on the importance of children's literature by the bestselling and award-winning author, Katherine Rundell.
_______________

'It’s a very short book but it packs a real punch... A real delight' - Financial Times

'Rundell is the real deal, a writer of boundless gifts and extraordinary imaginative power whose novels will be read, cherished and reread long after most so-called “serious” novels are forgotten' - Observer

'Rundell's pen is gold-tipped' - Sunday Times
_______________

Katherine Rundell – Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, and prize-winning author of five novels for children – explores how children’s books ignite, and can re-ignite, the imagination; how children's fiction, with its unabashed emotion and playfulness, can awaken old hungers and create new perspectives on the world. This delightful and persuasive essay is for adult readers.

Katherine Rundell is the million-copy bestselling author of five children’s novels and has won the Costa Children’s Book Award, the Blue Peter Book Award and the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize amongst many others. Katherine spent her childhood in Africa and Europe before taking her degree at the University of Oxford and becoming a Fellow of All Souls College. As well as writing, she studies Renaissance literature and is learning, very slowly, to fly a small aeroplane. Katherine will be a World Book Day author for 2021.
