Frank's book left me enraged, informed and moved'</b> - Sathnam Sanghera<br><br><i><b>'</b></i><b>Lively and frequently moving . . . <i>A British Childhood</i> makes a stirring case for children as central to any national story'</b> - <i>The Times</i><br><br>During his time as Children's Laureate, the bestselling author Frank Cottrell-Boyce travelled the country, meeting children and young people where they were: in schools and libraries, in young offenders' institutions and prisons, many of them living in extremely precarious conditions.<br><br>As he met these children, he began to reflect on stories from his own childhood and on children's lives in Britain during his lifetime - the imaginative connections we make and the sense of community that are so vital to our future adult selves.<br><br><i>A British Childhood</i> tells the story of what it means to be young in modern Britain. It is at once a searing condemnation of our failure to look after the nation's most vulnerable citizens, and a call to arms to all of us to protect the innocence, and the imagination, of childhood.<br><br><b>'Especially powerful on poverty, reading and imagination' </b>- <i>The i</i><br><br><b>'This clarion call about the loss of delight and safety in children's lives is also a reminder of the sheer magic of reading</b>' <i>- The Guardian</i></p>
