Good. She was bonkers though. Her poor son and husband!

[Christopher · Rating 3 out of 5]

A mix of some brilliant essays – Light, Dreams, The Button-Box – and lesser essays, with one or two boring ones: More Singing Games and Magic seems to no more than a catalogue of singing games. Overall, though, the book is a fascinating reflexion of a past world.
