Descriere - Oxford Bookworms Collection. The Eye of Childhood

What does it feel like to be a child? Learning how to negotiate with the unpredictable adult world, learning how to pick a path through lifes traps and hazards, learning when the time has come to put away childish things. The writers of these short stories show us the world as seen from the far side of the child-adult divide, a gap that is sometimes small, and sometimes an unbridgeable chasm.

This collection contains stories by John Updike,
Graham Greene, William Boyd, Susan Hill, D. H. Lawrence, Saki, Penelope Lively, Bernard MacLaverty, Frank Tuohy, and Morley Callaghan.
