Debbie Dance of the Oxford Preservation Trust unveils a treat for history lovers and encourages us to explore When I begin a book I have a habit of turning to the acknowledgements page. I like to think about how a book has come about, who encouraged it, helped with the research, who was trusted to read the early texts. It gives me some insight into the person writing and can read like a story within the story of its own. I wonder what the reader can tell from the acknowledgements in the Oxford Heritage Books. This series of six books, published by OPT over the past 10 years, belong to the author, and the illustrator, Malcolm Graham, and Edith Gollnast.
