Summary "David Almond: Memory and Magic introduces Almond's life and work, focusing on his contribution to YA literature. It considers his major themes, most notably the development of identity as an ongoing process that occurs in a series of borderlands -- childhood and adulthood, the natural and the supernatural, life and death, and past and present. Related to that theme is a fascination with darkness and death"--BOOK JACKET.
