Susan Hill's earliest memories are of books and reading. The Lighting of the Lamps is suffused with her great love of books. She writes illuminatingly on famous authors - Hardy, Bunyon, Beatrix Potter, Dickens, Buchan, Wodehouse, Blyton - the range is wide and includes authors no longer popular like H. M. Tomlinson. This is a book of enthusiasms, a marvellous collection which conveys so well Susan Hill's deep and lifelong involvement with words, of which she is herself so clearly such a master.
