The Importance And Influence Of Books On Me Has Been Cumulative: The Result Of Hearing And Reading Lots Of Stories About Interesting People And Places.

Much Of My Reading Time Over The Last Decade And A Half Has Been Spent Reading Aloud To My Children. Those Children's Bedtime Rituals Of Supper, Bath, Stories, And Sleep Have Been A Staple Of My Life And Some Of The Best, Most Special Times I Can Remember.

I Like Many Types Of Music And Probably Too Many To Mention Here.
