Hi
I don't know whetehr this will be of interest to anyone on the list, but
I've just finished a small piece of research about childhood memories of
reading among people who were children in the 1940s and 50s. I
interviewed 23 people from the north west about topics such as:
· Memories of learning to read
· Memories of being read to
· Memories of reading habits eg where and when people read as
children
· Attitudes towards books and reading in the past
· Visiting bookshops
· Using libraries
· Experiences of talking about books
· Reading as a teenager
· Memorable books
· Comics and magazines
· Reading at school
· Reading in families
· Re-reading
If you are interested in reading it email [log in to unmask] and I'll
send you a copy.
