The Child that Books Built - 'A memoir about how and why we read as children.' NICK HORNBY

What would you find if you went back and re-read your favourite books from childhood? In The Child That Books Built Francis Spufford revisits all those childhood obsessions: fairy tales; Where the Wild Things Are ; The Lord of the Rings ; The Chronicles of Narnia ; Little House on the Prairie ; The Wind in the Willows ; The Earthsea Trilogy and more. In these treasured tales Francis Spufford discovers both delight and sadness - the thrill as worlds of imagination opened up before him mixed with the memories of a boy who retreated into books when faced with a family tragedy.
