A love-letter to children's books. 'Beautiful and moving... It will kickstart a cascade of nostalgia for countless people' Marian Keyes
When Lucy Mangan was little, stories were everything. They opened up different worlds and cast new light on this one.
She was whisked away to Narnia – and Kirrin Island – and Wonderland. She ventured down rabbit holes and womble burrows into midnight gardens and chocolate factories. No wonder she only left the house for her weekly trip to the library.
In Bookworm, Lucy brings the favourite characters of our collective childhoods back to life and disinters a few forgotten treasures poignantly, wittily using them to tell her own story, that of a born, and unrepentant, bookworm.
"The Guardian columnist has composed an enthusiastic love letter to childhood reading, and the classic books that have shaped many young lives, as well as providing a resource and guide on how to build a children's library"
Guardian
"I felt like this was written just for me, and I think everyone will feel this way"
Jenny Colgan
"The most wonderful, funny, clever, charming, evocative book."
India Knight
"A book for people who love books, by a person who loves books. Bookworms unite (or just sit in our separate corners and read!)"
Stylist
"A delicously nostalgic treat that will make you want to pull out all those old favourites again"
