A large size paperback edition of a much discussed and praised book. Whether Jill Paton Walsh got the dialect right or fully explained the significance of Babylon apart, this is a resonant story which touches gently on the complexity of feelings of exile and belonging. The book is for Dulcie and all other black children like her who belong in this country, where they were born. Jennifer Northway's pictures are a delight.
