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 re-ignite,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 readers.
