Essays

A
reader of the six youth novels by Aidan Chambers —
|
||||||||
|
the
first published in 1978, the
last in 2005 — once said
|
||||||||
|
that
each story was like “ a little part of a long life ” .
|
||||||||
|
This
collection focuses on that long life and includes
|
||||||||
|
previously
published critical readings as
well as
|
||||||||
|
specially
written personal accounts and excerpted
|
||||||||
|
blogs translated
from the Swedish. Published
in
|
||||||||
|
celebration
of the author's seventy-fifth birthday in
|
||||||||
|
2009, the
essays offer a variety of approaches to his
|
||||||||
|
family of
novels, the Dance Sequence.
