Summary
Bloomsbury presents Why You Should Read Children's Books, Even Though You Are So Old and Wise by Katherine Rundell, read by Katherine Rundell.
Katherine Rundell - Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, and prize-winning author of five novels for children - explores how children’s books ignite and can reignite the imagination - how children's fiction, with its unabashed emotion and playfulness, can awaken old hungers and create new perspectives on the world. This delightful and persuasive essay is for adult listeners.
Critic reviews
"Rundell is the real deal, a writer of boundless gifts and extraordinary imaginative power whose novels will be read, cherished and reread long after most so-called 'serious' novels are forgotten." (Observer)
