Talk, Talk: A Children's Book Author Speaks to Grown-Ups

A wonderful collection of thoughts about children's literature, from a great proponent of that craft. Konigsburg is one of the most important writers for young people of our time. She is respectful of her readers, exploring with them important ideas and feelings through the medium of great stories. Her works are both accessible and demanding, and she does not repeat herself. This collection of her speeches about writing for young people is a treasure for adults who love reading with children, and for young adults who love writing, and want to get inside a very special author.
