SF Said on XS. F. Said is a children's book author. Author of Varjak Paw, The Outlaw Varjak Paw, Phoenix - and now TYGER! I also write about children's books & all things connected to them.
Songs of Innocence
William BlakeSF Said@joythompson1 @Foyles Yes, we can. William Blake wrote Songs of Innocence and of Experience for children - that's the book on the top left. His poem The Tyger was the very first spark of inspiration for my book Tyger - I read it as a child, and wrote about it in the blog, if you'd like to know more.

Olaf StapledonSF SaidI can't stop reading early science fiction at the moment. Has anyone else read Olaf Stapledon's LAST AND FIRST MEN and STAR MAKER? A future history of humanity and a future history of the entire universe, they were written in the 1930s, but have so much to say to us today. https://t.co/WtUAr8TQU2
