Reviews

[Eva Mitnick]

My two favorite essays (both dealing with power that a good book, read young, can have on a person's life) are as inspiring and gorgeous as ever. Read "Of Memory and Muchness" and "Lose Not the Nightingale" for a jolt to the system that will put new joy into your children's literature-loving soul.

[Michael Fitzgerald]

An excellent collection of Sayers's writings from various publications.
