The
Rights of the Reader, by Daniel Pennac, illustrated
by Quentin Blake First published in 1992, Daniel Pennac's The Rights of the Reader was a best-seller in France. Drawing on his experiences as a child, a parent and an inner-city teacher in Paris, Pennac reflects on the power of story and on how we learn to read - what helps us and what gets in the way. He reminds us of our right to read anything, anywhere, at any time, so long as we are enjoying ourselves. A sympathetic and witty guide, it is also a work of literature in its own right. This new translation is by award-winning translator Sarah Adams and Quentin Blake illustrates and introduces the work. Published by Walker Books |
