Cover Story
The illustration on the cover of this issue is from the new Bodley Bookshelf edition of Penelope Farmer's The Summer Birds. We think Paul Geiger's artwork catches exactly the magic of that delightful book. We are grateful for the help of The Bodley Head in using this illustration.

A most welcome paperback, this is a reworking of a favourite nursery tale whose cumulative text with its natural repetition and highly infectious rhythm, immediately engages learner readers and young listeners. The layout and design of the splendid water-colour paintings echo the textual patterning: a full page illustration alternates with one or more vignettes on the facing page, culminating in an action-packed requence.
