The Gifts of Reading for the Next Generation (inbunden, eng)

Inspired by Robert Macfarlane and curated by Jennie Orchard, an anthology of essays about the joys of giving books to children and young people, from some of the world’s most beloved writers. Remember the books that shaped your childhood, sparked your imagination, and ignited a lifelong love of reading? In The Gifts of Reading for the Next Generation, some of the world’s most beloved authors share their own transformative reading experiences — the books and stories that set them on the path of becoming the readers and writers they are today.

By exploring the stories that shaped them, our authors provide a powerful guide to fostering a love of reading in the children and young people in your life.
