Today I finished writing a catalogue entry for a file on Petronella Breinburg, who wrote a number of children's books. Her first book, Legends of Suriname, was published by New Beacon in 1971. Subsequently, her series of books about a little boy called Sean, published by Bodley Head, made her more famous. A number of letters in the file refer to the horrendous time she had whilst doing her teaching practice in London schools in the 1970s.
