Abstract

One of the first books I remember reading, I mean really reading, still lies within quotable reach on a bookshelf upstairs. It would hardly qualify as unusual taste for a seven-year-old girl, then or now. For some reason I prefer not to look at Dancing Sta?, (a children's biography of the life of Anna Pavlova written by a woman called Gladys Malvern) again. I would rather leave it lying there and rely instead on memory for what struck me about it then and how that relates to my concern in this paper..
