When Lucy Mangan was little stories were everything. They opened up different worlds and cast
new light on 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. No
wonder she only left the house for her weekly trip to the library. In Bookworm Lucy brings the
favourite characters of our collective childhoods back to life and disinters a few forgotten
treasures poignantly wittily using them to tell her own story that of a born and unrepentant
bookworm.
