A Children's Literary Treasury

New Hardback Illustrated

Postscript summary

Offering ‘a little taste of bookwandering magic’, these 50 extracts span 150 years and are organized thematically – to celebrate imagination, take readers to a new world, send shivers down the spine or visit favourite characters. In addition to much-loved examples ranging from Jill Murphy’s The Worst Witch to classics for young adults, including Animal Farm and The War of the Worlds, they include lesser-known treasures recently discovered in the British Library’s collection.
