Cover story
On the front of BfK this month is the cover of Yesterday by Adèle Geras. The artwork is by Carolyn Piggford. This book is one from the 'Teenage Memoirs' series published by Walker (see the article, All Their Yesterdays, in this issue) and Adèle, of course, is the subject of our Authorgraph - see centre-spread. Our thanks to Walker Books for their help in using this illustration.

This must be a book designed primarily for those old enough to have read The Velveteen Rabbit. Martin Leman's photographs more than live up to what one would expect from him and his selection of poetry is delightful. Just as the old Teddy Bears are given the photographic respect they deserve so, too, are the old favourite Bear poems. Much care and attention has gone into setting out the poems to their best advantage as well as to the meticulous detail of Leman's photographs. This is a book for all ages and did, I'm sure, feature in quite a few adult Christmas stockings!
