BfK No. 25 - March 1984

Cover Story
On our cover this month we feature an illustration from The Swineherd, a picture book version of the Andersen fairy tale by artist Lisbeth Zwerger. (Neugebauer Press, 0 907234 127, £3.95 from A. and C. Black). We are grateful to A. and C. Black for help in using this illustration. The roundel used on the Hans Andersen pages is from the wood engraving by Gwen Raverat for Four Tales, translated by R. P. Keigwin, C.U.P. (1935). It and the Punch cartoon on page 16 appear in Brian Alderson's pamphlet Hans Christian Andersen and his Eventyr in England.

This assortment of alphabetic puns, jokes and rhymes is one of those apparently inconsequential books which teachers tend to disregard but which children delight in at that stage when they have just become independent readers. And it could be a boon for teachers searching for material for older readers who don't find reading easy let alone enjoyable.
