A Child of Books

I just had to treat myself to a copy of this new book by Oliver Jeffers and Sam Winston:-

It feels like it's been written for me, and about me... I was a child of books.

The book is a beautifully produced work of art infused with a deep love of books and stories and words, marrying as it does the drawings of Jeffers' and the soaring text-scapes of Winston. Although a children's book, it will undoubtedly appeal to adults. I myself couldn't resist it.

Scenes depict a young girl riding high on the crest of a wave of words; and escaping from the clutches of a monster wrought in dense black type. Such a wonderful testament to the stories we read.
