Lucy Mangan is a bookworm. When she was little, stories were everything. They opened-up new worlds and cast light on all the complexities she encountered in this one. She was whisked away to Narnia – and Kirrin Island – and Wonderland. She ventured down rabbit holes and womble burrows into midnight gardens and chocolate factories. She wandered the countryside with Milly-Molly-Mandy, and played by the tracks with the Railway Children. With Charlotte’s Web she discovered Death and with Judy Blume it was Boys. No wonder she only left the house for her weekly trip to the library or to spend her pocket money on amassing her own at home. In Bookworm, Lucy revisits her childhood reading with wit, love and gratitude. She also disinters a few forgotten treasures to inspire the next generation of bookworms and set them on their way. Lucy is the perfect visitor to Gladstone’s Library and she talks to novelist – and fellow bookworm – Sarah Perry about our best-beloved books, their extraordinary creators, and the thousand subtle ways they shape our lives.
