The Book of Interests is not claimed to be for children of a certain age or a certain attainment: it is presented quite simply, if not so modestly, as a book which all children should read at one particular stage of their psychological development - a stage that will be clearly and unmistakably recognised by all experienced teachers. The Book is conceived to be interesting, entertaining, easy to read so the pupil can enjoy the text. It consists of texts collected from various sources. The way in which many of the chapters may be turned to immediate practical activity, and the absorbing experiential content of the others, should be noted.
