M.R. liked Subashini's review of The Haunted Wood: A History of Childhood Reading:
The Haunted Wood by Sam Leith
"Fairly enjoyable for what is essentially an overview, but ruined for me by the conservative defence of J.K. Rowling and the claim that "cancel culture" lovers have merely "accused" her of transphobia, instead of the bare fact of Rowling advertising her fascist views at every opportunity. Super condescending about why people who may have loved the Harry Potter books for various reasons now want nothing to do with her. Perhaps to be expected of someone who's happy to write for The Spectator."
