Cover Story
On our cover this issue we feature an illustration by Charles Keeping from Beowulf (OUP, 0 19 279770 0, £4.50), a new picture book version for 9-13s of the Anglo-Saxon hero tale. The story is retold by Kevin Crossley-Holland. We are most grateful to Oxford University Press for their help in using this illustration.

Laszlo Acs
The Perfect Hamburger has an admirably clear and strong narrative line. Joe's search for the ingredients for the perfect hamburger which will save Mr Borthwick from a takeover by the slick operators of the Hamburger House chain makes appetising (sorry!) reading.
