The Children's Book by A S Byatt, shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize in 2009, will be published in paperback in January 2010.

Described by Peter Kemp in The Sunday Times as ‘easily the best thing A S Byatt has written since her Booker Prize-winning masterpiece, Possession... The Children's Book is a work that superlatively displays both enormous reach and tremendous grip.'

A S Byatt won the Booker Prize with Possession in 1990.
