What an interesting narrative on your introduction to reading & the developing love of books which is still clearly evident Sian.
I share your love of Shakespeare & as a Primary School teacher I introduced 10-11 year olds to the powerful stories translating them into easy language for them to appreciate….they loved them!
My first book which I read from cover to cover on several occasions was ‘Lord of the Flies’ & like you I was totally enveloped in the world of the novel identifying with the character Ralph wholeheartedly.
I still like reading books but these days I enjoy autobiographies , memorable events & easy reading fiction.
Your article is very well written & gives a lovely description on how you feel in love with books describing it as a love affair which has been a long lasting one in endurance with no sign of ending in the near future!

This is such a lovely comment, thank you for sharing Steve. I have (shamefully) never read Lord of the Flies - it sounds like I need too! xx
