The Riddle of the Childscape: Jay Griffiths
While travelling the world to write her award-winning book Wild, Jay Griffiths became increasingly aware of the huge differences in how childhood is experienced in different cultures.
Moving from the tribes of West Papua and the Arctic to the ostracised young people of contemporary Britain, she asks why it is so much more difficult to grow up in industrialised cultures than indigenous ones.
“If a tiger could write poetry or a polar bear prose, they might write a book as exciting as Wild.”
-Adrian Mitchell , Shadow Poet Laureate.
