Voices in the Park

Four people go to the park, and through their eyes we see four different stories about what took place there. There's the bossy woman, the sad man, the lonely boy and the young girl whose warmth touches them all. As the story moves from one voice to another, their perspectives are reflected in the shifting landscapes and seasons.

As with so many of Anthony Browne's works, this is an intriguing, many layered, hugely entertaining book which can be read again and again, and which will appeal to adults and children alike.

Voices in the Park revisits a previous book by Anthony Browne, A Walk in the Park, written twenty years ago, but now sadly out of print. -- Philippa Reece
