A celebration, in a pocket-sized format, of the joys and vital importance of children's literature for adult readers, from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Impossible Creatures. Katherine Rundell, one of the most accomplished modern children's writers, offers an extended essay about the pleasures and benefits of reading children's literature as an adult. Rundell 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. Infinitely wise and thought-provoking, Rundell's short book is a perfect one-sitting read, and a terrific gift for the book-lover in your life.
