Into the golden cloud… Graham Tyrer: Headteacher, Chenderit School, Northampton grahamtyrer.comgrahamtyrer@me.com
Reading into the world Reading was her way into the world…for she knew nothing beyond the family, which was her house, enclosing her on four sides, the entire and only truth. White walls like sheets of paper, the rules of life written on them in invisible ink. Reading tore holes in these paper walls and let her inspect another world…Books let her float out of herself and into a sort of golden cloud…the book and the world were one and she was both and neither, she was not there, she was everywhere. Michelle Roberts: Impossible Saints
