- Summary:
-
"The right words are an incantation, a spell of hope for the future. Let me tell you a story .... When Chloe Hooper and her partner have to find a way to break bad news to their two young sons, by instinct she turns to the bookshelf. Hooper embarks on a quest to discover what children's literature-with its magic, monsters and anthropomorphised animals-can teach about loss and resilience. From the Brothers Grimm to Frances Hodgson Burnett, Tolkien and Dahl, all of whom suffered childhood bereavements, she follows the breadcrumbs of the world's favourite authors, searching for the deep wisdom in their books and lives. In an age of chaos, Bedtime Story is a rich and moving exploration of the transformative power of storytelling."--Back cover.
