The Rights of the Reader by Daniel Pennac

The Rights of the Reader by Daniel Pennac

Humane, humorous and deeply felt, this is a unique book about reading. The Rights of the Reader, which has sold over a million copies in France, grew from celebrated French writer Daniel Pennac's experiences of teaching in "challenging" schools. Central to the book is his belief that readers have rights: to read what, how, where and when they want, and – if they choose – the right NOT to read. This fresh new translation combines the talents of award-winning translator Sarah Adams and renowned artist Quentin Blake, who illustrates and introduces the work.

A refreshing and inspirational book that should never go out of print* National Literacy Trust *
A wonderfully economical and witty exploration of why we read and why we don't. -- Josh Lacey * The Guardian *
