Product Description

First published in 1992, The Rights of the Reader, Daniel Pennac's passionate defence of reading for pleasure, has sold over a million copies in his native France.
Drawing on his experiences as a child, parent and teacher, Pennac reflects on the power of story and on how we learn to read - what helps us and what gets in the way. He reminds us of our right to read anything, anywhere, at any time, so long as we are enjoying ourselves.
Fresh, funny - and a work of literature in its own right - this book should be read by anyone who cares about children and reading.
