Yes. It’s a book. A book that you’ll love to give – and that they will LOVE you for giving. I know what it’s like – you look despairingly across their list and wonder when it was they stopped wanting Playmobil and cool robots for Christmas. A nice book always feels like such a great gift – but it’s often tricky finding the right one that will be received with enthusiasm. But this one –...
