Cover Story
This month BfK features Jane Ray’s cover for The Twelve Dancing Princesses. We’re particularly delighted to have the opportunity to use this illustration as it enables us to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Orchard Books - they’re 10 this year! And also to thank them for their help in producing our July cover.

Sports books date so quickly and there is such a range of soccer magazines available now that it's often difficult to justify spending much on them. This one is bang up to date with plenty of colour photos of the modern game from all over the world. It's not an instructional book but a wide-ranging look at the mass appeal, history, tactics, personnel and commercial activities of 'the beautiful game'. In 48 pages none of these topics is dealt with in any detail but the book should encourage readers to take a wider view and think beyond the immediate appeal of their own particular team. Not a 'must buy' but a useful acquisition. A quibble - does any kid interested enough to pick up a book on soccer really need a glossary that includes corner, free-kick, penalty and tackle?
