"With its precisely rendered invocations of what it is like to discover Tolkien's Middle-Earth or C. S. Lewis's Narnia or Laura Ingalls Wilder's prairie for the first time, this book grants much the same sort of sentimental satisfactions as might be gained from a dark winter's afternoon spent rummaging through an attic. It also offers an intelligent, thoughtful inquiry into how the pleasure of reading actually works."Spufford, Francis is the author of 'Child That Books Built' with ISBN 9780312421847 and ISBN 0312421842.
