Cover Story
The illustration on the front of BfK this month is the cover of Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass with illustrations by Sir John Tenniel. The book is published by Macmillan (0 333 29037 2) at £9.99, and we're grateful for their help in using this picture of Alice and the White Knight.
Ghost Stories
What have we here? I spy a publisher's response to National Curriculum - 20th and pre-20th century literature, uniting from other cultures - all pulled together by the ever-popular ghost theme. No knee-jerk reaction to government legislation, this: Westall has assembled a thoughtful collection with an admirable variety of styles represented. It's excellent value - 22 stories for $3.95 - and should find a place in all but the most impoverished of stock cupboards. One criticism, though - and one I've made before - why 'Sredni Vashtar' again?
