Byatt on Tatar’s Enchanted Hunters
November 7, 2009
This is a grown-up book for grown-up people who haven’t forgotten being childhood readers. It satisfies imagination and curiosity, revisiting things you suddenly remember clearly, telling you new things you didn’t know.
A. S. Byatt reviews Maria Tatar’s Enchanted Hunters in the Guardian.

Sounds like an interesting book!
I am not sure, though, that I entirely agree with reading as a “solitary addiction”…Reading aloud the right story at the right time can be very much a shared journey.
