Cover Story
Our cover this issue was created from the endpapers of the Blue Book and the Yellow Book of Hob Stories to be published by Walker Books later this year. Hob made his first appearance last year in the Red and Green Books of Stories about him by William Mayne. Patrick Benson who did the illustrations has just won the Mother Goose Award. For more details see Ed's Page (opposite) and the report of the Mother Goose Award (page 10). We are most grateful to Walker Books for help in using these illustrations.

Illustrated by Graham Round
Here's the one 'reluctant' readers and writers have long waited for. Those like the boy on page three who hate reading books will enjoy this vigorous, teeming collection of news reports, graffiti, jokes, chants, cartoons, menus. And it's an invitation to take part in storytelling, story-making --- a book to be co-written by its readers. Therefore, individual copies essential; able readers and street-wise Rosenites will save up. Teachers should mortgage all those copies of Bashing Away at English! Splendid literary and linguistic fun which is saying and doing something of vital importance for all ages.
