Critic Farah Mendlesohn has been writing about children’s literature, and children’s literature specifically, over at her blog The Inter-Galactic Playground, for some time now. It’s always a fascinating site to check out, and is building up towards what should be a very interesting book of Farah’s. She’s just posted a critique of my book The Starry Rift which really delighted me. It’s not a review – it contains spoilers and so on – but it is very interesting indeed. Reading it made me eager to get my teeth into another book I want to do, which I’ve been messing with for a while. Of course, given how overloaded I am today, that might have to wait for 2011.
