      • Author's note: 'A peculiar feature of my life, first as a child, then as a teacher, school librarian, college and university lecturer, writer, reviewer, broadcaster and publisher, has been a close involvement with children's literature, and that is what this book is about. It is not an autobiography but simply an account of one particular aspect of my life; an involvement with reading and books, and children's books in particular.'
