Introduced by Ruth Fainlight and with an afterword by Hilary Mantel, Flickerbook is the classic autobiography of the writer Leila Berg (1917–2012), who fought all her life ‘fiercely and often provocatively for the right of children to be listened to, understood and accepted’ (TES). It recreates childhood pleasures and fears, relationships with family and lovers, and growing political engagement. It ends with an air-raid siren in September 1939: ‘Something new is beginning, and we fumble because we don’t know what it is.’

Leila Berg (1917–2012) grew up in a Jewish immigrant neighbourhood in Salford, Greater Manchester. Flickerbook records her childhood and early youth. In the late 1960s she devised, wrote for and edited the Nippers series of early readers, pioneering the inclusion of working-class and ethnic-minority experience and language in books for children. Her books about childhood and progressive education include Risinghill: Death of a Comprehensive, Reading and Loving and Look at Kids!

paperback. Etat : Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
