Once upon a time there was a child who went out into the world to have adventures and misadventures and, through learning and discovery, become, eventually, an adult with a very good story to tell. The end.

This is the premise of the coming-of-age or Bildungsroman tale, our focus for this book selection. We hope to see you there!
