For readers in India

I had a nice email from Mohit at flipkart, the online books retailer in India. He tells me that A Thousand Days of Wonder is on sale through their online catalogue. You can see the catalogue entry here. If you're reading the book in India, it would be great to hear from you.

From reviews of The Baby in the Mirror

"Outstanding... This beautiful book is highly recommended." Library Journal (read more)

"One of the best books about very small children that I have read." Sunday Telegraph paperbacks round-up

"[A] new father tries to empathise with his daughter's inner workings as she begins to relate to the world - and to others, including himself... illuminates this intense tie between parent and child with a rare, tender, day-to-day absorption. The result is a double portrait: fascinating, unsettling and highly original." Books of the Year, New Statesman (read more)

"An accessible and intimate act of storytelling... fresh, original and delightful." The Psychologist

"An elegantly written, warm, thoughtful, novelistic account... [does] a lovely job of conveying what life with a baby is like." Times Literary Supplement (read more)

"A tender, beautifully written account... accessible and jargon-free." Scotsman (read more)

"A painstakingly observed, exquisitely written voyage of discovery... unusual and beautiful..." Guardian (read more)

"The most poetic popular science book of the year... a hard book to put down." Sunday Telegraph (read more)

"It's fascinating about memory and lost time... and the ineffable process by which children acquire language and a sense of selfhood and orientation." Time Out

"Illuminating and often very moving." Big Issue Scotland

"Ambitious and highly intelligent... any parent, particularly one with a young child, will be both moved and enlightened." Financial Times (read more)

"Extraordinary... a cross between a biography of a baby growing into a child, a scientist's case-study notes and a beautifully written novel." Guardian (read more)

"An informed and humane introduction to the literature of infant observation... both a triumph of informed imagination and a startling testament of love." Sunday Telegraph (read more)

"Truly a labour of love... a hymn to a child from a loving father." Sunday Herald (read more)

"Combines a researcher's insights with a parent's unique empathy to create a moving portrait of human consciousness slowly and valiantly cohering in the buffeting current of time." Brian Hall, author of Madeleine's World (read more)

"I have never seen such a beautifully written book on this topic... essential reading for both psychologists and new parents." Paul Bloom, Professor of Psychology, Yale University (read more)

"Unusual and illuminating... Enraptured as a father, absorbed as a psychologist, and seismographically attuned as a writer, Charles Fernyhough gives rare expression to a parent's love and brings us very close to his daughter as she passes from infancy to childhood." Marina Warner (read more)
