PAGES & CO: TILLY<br />
AND THE BOOKWANDERERS<br />
BY ANNA JAMES<br />
I’m having a hard time not recommending Pages & Co to every single person<br />
that walks into Bags of Books at the moment. Just today I’ve heard myself say<br />
“it’s just so wonderful…” at least three times already, and it’s only lunchtime.<br />
The author Anna James has called it ‘a love letter to bookshops’ and the<br />
publishers are billing it as ‘a captivating, curl-up-on-the-sofa debut about the<br />
magic of books and the power of the imagination’. I’m sharing the book with<br />
my eight-year-old daughter at the moment. We’re both completely captivated.<br />
The story follows Tilly, who lives with her grandparents at their bookshop,<br />
Pages & Co. Tilly has always loved reading and finds the characters from her<br />
êêêê UNDER 16<br />
favourite books familiar and comforting. She’s not expecting, however, to one day come face to face<br />
with Alice – fresh out of Wonderland – and Anne – of Green Gables! Tilly discovers that she can not<br />
only see characters from books, she can ‘bookwander’ into any story that she chooses. But soon she<br />
finds there’s mystery and danger lurking within the pages of some books... Can a trip to the wonderful<br />
‘Underlibrary’, deep in the British Library itself, illuminate what is happening to Tilly? And could it<br />
help her solve the mystery of what happened to her mother all those years ago? Anna, Bags of Books<br />

With its excellent and imaginative<br />
approach, the Steiner Waldorf<br />
curriculum has gained ever-widening<br />
recognition as a creative and<br />
compassionate alternative to<br />
traditional avenues of education.<br />
But just how does it feel to be a child<br />
in this environment, soaking up this<br />
stimulating and rewarding teaching?<br />
