Alice in Vanity Fair Land
A short piece on how Lewis Carroll's Alice Through the Looking Glass (1871), the follow-up book to Alice in Wonderland (1865) encouraged Salman Rushdie to continue writing for children.
Rushdie has published two books for children: Haroun and the Sea of Stories (1990) and Luka and the Fire of Life (2010).

Weekend Supplement Reading
My parents love reading newspapers everyday, and get about five papers on a daily basis (anything from The Mirror to The Observer). On the weekend it's a ridiculous six! I normally just have a quick scan of some of the pages and keep one of the weekend supplements for the TV guide and Sudoku puzzles. But this week there's been a few fun features on children's books and films.
Anthony Horowitz: hated prep school
Julia Roberts & Charlize Theron: Who's the biggest witch of them all?
