It's a book that you would read as a kid and it would really stimulate your imagination. ——Liz Pichon Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll It's a book read at my father's knee and that inspired my imagination and shaped my writing life.

Wonderland with its Cheshire Cat and never­ending tea parties, which were reflected in a lifelong love of cats and cakes, suited me best. ——Menna van Praag Bambi by Felix Salten My mum read this to me before I could read, and later I read it to myself again and again.
