Contributors to this wide-ranging text consider:
How books shape the readers we become
Cognitive and affective responses to representation of books and reading
The relationship between love-stories and reading as a cultural activity
Reading as ‘Protection and Enlightenment’
Picturebooks as stage sets for acts of reading
Readers’ perceptions of a writer
This portrayal of books and reading also reveals adults’ beliefs about childhood and literacy and how they are changing. It is a theme of crucial significance in the shaping of future generations of readers given these beliefs influence not only ideas about the teaching of literature but also about the role of digital technologies. This text is a must-read for any individual interested in the importance of keeping literature alive through reading.
