'When I was a kid, my Auntie Jan used to buy me books for Christmas. As soon as she and my uncle arrived for lunch, I'd be eyeballing the presents, sizing up their shapes, silently reassuring myself that my relatives were going to deliver again this year. As soon as decorum (and my mother's beady eye) allowed, I'd lunge for that book-shaped present with all the undignified enthusiasm of one of the Melling Sisters you'll meet in this wonderful book.'

    'Whatever has happened to the word 'knowledge'? It seems to have become passe in today's information-driven world. A browse through book review journals turns up very few books with knowledge in the title. Or the word 'wonder' for that matter, the innate quality that drives people to inquire and read and seek knowledge. However books offering information and facts are a plenty.' (Editorial)
