322pp, with occasional small decorations in text. Black cloth-covered boards with gilt lettering on the spine. Bright red endpapers. 8vo. A hint of yellowing to text block edges else volume is neat, clean, bright and tight throughout. In its original dust jacket, illustrated, not price clipped, very slightly bumped on extreme edges.

Lucy Mangan recalls the fascination of reading children’s classics such as Enid Blyton, C S Lewis’s Narnia stories, Alice in Wonderland, The Famous Five etc and reflects on the impact of the experience. It is as much a love-letter to reading as it is a childhood memoir.
