Ooh, love a good villain! Needs shades of grey, though - a compelling reason for their diabolical actions.

First example that comes to mind is Magneto - trying to stop mutantkind from persecution after experiencing the horrors of Auschwitz firsthand.

Clockwork, The Switching Hour, The Longest Night of Charlie Noon and Hello Now jump straight to mind for kid/YA books.

Have you read, ‘And The Ocean Was Our Sky, Ben? I know there's links to Moby Dick. Need to read both, I think.
Haven't tackled Melville, yet.

These go together for me, with their focus on the environment and how interconnected we all are. I got a copy of Tori Amos's book Resistance for my birthday so am looking forward to that.

Although my first interaction with them was most formative. Smaug has left quite an indelible mark on my reading brain.

Don’t think there’s been better drawn dragons than those created by Jackie Morris. 👌🏼

I feel like I know so few! Smaug is clearly a classic. I also do love the dragon gag in Wiesner’s Three Little Pigs.

Continue to develop the quality and ingenuity of them. There are several ‘games’ which have told deeply personal, affective narratives and there’s something in these that I feel could ‘add’ to the reading/reader’s experience. Need to ponder it some more.

Picture books can be painful but it’s these books that are so important for showing children the complexity of the world

I agree! Books like Du Iz Tak? would be impossible without pictures. Not to mention texts like Journey, Tuesday and The Arrival. A whole new layer of interpretive reading is introduced with pictures

I would say that some of my adult fiction is illustrated. But it comes in graphic novel form. Do you mean something more hybrid? Thinking of ‘Book of Dust’ there’s a few illustrations sprinkled about but visualisation mostly left to the reader.

Linking somewhat with I’ve been enjoying exploring art and videogame culture.
These two especially delve into Greek Mythology, Artificial Intelligence and Norse Myth so deeply. Computer game narratives have really come on hugely.

A fantastic chat tonight! Thank you for every reply! And thanks to for her essay!

Final question:

Q4: In your opinion, why *should* all grown-ups read children’s books and which ONE book would you put in a sceptical adult’s hands? 😊👍

Hi

I love to read in bed, in the morning and just before I go to sleep
