SF Edition, The Making of Me

Robert Westall, who died in 1993, was a writer for only the last third of his life, but during that time he produced some of the best children’s books to come out of the decades following the Second World War. Though he never wrote a memoir he did leave behind some autobiographical sketches that take him from birth through school to the publication of his first book, and these were brilliantly woven together after his death into The Making of Me by his partner Lindy McKinnel.
