I love, love, love Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy, and his latest first book in the new Book of Dust series, but I have sometimes found sometimes when I’ve heard Philip talk in interviews for him to be a bit too ‘opinionated’ so I approached this book cautiously.

I had had a taste of what it was like though: the essay on ‘Imaginary Friends’ published as a pamphlet for Independent Bookseller’s Day, five of them were serialised for Radio 4’s book of the week, and more importantly I was fortunate enough to hear him talk in person when he visited Oxford Brookes University in November.

This is an outstanding collection of essays (on the theme of storytelling). You will find yourself not always agreeing with Pullman, but he makes very good points and observations and makes you look at your own ideas and beliefs in a new way. You can’t fail to actually admire him. I think that maybe, he doesn’t get the time or the angle to articulate them (even though he articulates very well) those thoughts in more journalistic environments.

You will find yourself copying down, underlining, photographing, or instagramming quotes (however you choose to do it) because it is full of lots of choice quotes to apply elsewhere in life.

Alice Rochester (Editor), Andy Stanton (Forword)

The only problem with this book – the accompanying guide to the inspiring exhibition at Oxford’s Story Museum of the same name – is that you can’t read this book and not add more books to your To Read pile. And not just books to your to read pile, but a host more to your To Re-Read pile.

For each of the 26 Children’s authors who have contributed to this book and exhibition there is, a short introduction as to who they are, and a longer interview with the photographer, Cambridge Jones, as to why they chose character that they have, a short piece about the character and its author, and an extract from the story which best features the character.One of the questions that I found myself watching out for with each was how they became storytellers, and so many of them ring true with my own ideas and thoughts, and childhood that have made myself a writer.

Already, I have added a Frances Hardinge book to my TBR list (next on the list), and Katherine Rundell’s Rooftoppers will be following that soon after. And I still want to re-read The Wind of the Willows – that has to be the re-read book of the year.

If you love stories, and storytellers, this book, like the exhition is for you.
