The Child that Books Built
Francis Spufford
Despite some very difficult and impenetrable sentences, Doreen
enjoyed this. It is a survey of children's literature and the
author's own story woven together. It is very good about how
children move up to adult books - apparently girls have an easier
route than boys. Science Fiction was his bridge.

Andrew had had enough by page 100, but persevered to the end - it
was a chore.
