"As is evident from the National Curriculum's renewed emphasis on literature, traditional books remain important even in a digital age. Books actively engage the imagination, encouraging children to create their own images, ill in textual gaps, try out new identities and consider different ways of looking at familiar scenarios. This paper sets out to demonstrate how digital technologies can work with literature to bring the past into the present."
