Byatt, Antonia S. — THE CHILDREN’S BOOK.

London, Vintage Books - Random House, 2010. 1st edition 617 pp. Pb . Olive Wellwood is a famous writer, interviewed with her children gathered at her knee. For each of them she writes a separate private book, bound in different colours and placed on a shelf. In their rambling house near Romney Marsh they play in a story-book world - but their lives, and those of their rich cousins, children of a city stockbroker, and their friends, the son and daughter of a curator at the new Victoria and Albert Museum, are already inscribed with mystery. Each family carries their own secrets. Good condition. Reading creases spine.
