Why You Should Read Children's Books, Even Though You Are So Old and Wise by Katherine Rundell

5.0

Thank you, Katherine. Your book made my year. Erudite and beautifully written. I want to give a copy to so many people who only want to read books that are "true", and disparage the wealth of truth in books shelved in the Childrens' section. Thank you for quoting Aristotle and Angela Carter and Ishiguro. And for explaining the value of libraries and why every school in England should have one - by law. Thank you for reminding us that in good childrens' books there is, above all, hope.
