'I have never seen a ghost. But one of the first stories I wrote was about a ghost. It was the first story I ever had published – in the school magazine, it was that long ago. Over the years it has recurred again and again, one way and another. Hauntingly, it might be said.' (Introduction)

    'Wild About Books – essays on books and writing, about reading them and writing them, and publishing them and collecting them and preserving them in libraries. Essays about the shared experience of literature, the art and craft of writing, the pleasures of reading, the survival of five hundred years of print culture, together with reflections and suggestions on creative writing, on what to do, and how to do it, and on what I’ve done, and why I wrote this book and how I wrote that one, together with anecdotes from other writers’ experiences, from writers in person, and from the books they have written.'
