Children

What if the smallest people in the house are the most interesting ones? Alice Meynell, one of the finest essayists of her era, watches children the way a naturalist watches a meadow: with patience, wit, and quiet astonishment. You will discover tender, sharply observed portraits of how children speak, play, reason, and dream, written in prose so graceful it reads like poetry. A short, luminous listen for parents, grandparents, and anyone who has ever wondered what is really going on behind small, serious eyes. Play the sample and meet them.
