Children, left for themselves, often 14 the worst possible interest in literature.Just leave a child in bookshop or 15 and he will 16 willingly choose the books written in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children's comics, full of the stories and jokes which are the 17 of teachers and right-thinking parents.
