The caption BOOKS OF MY CHILDHOOD is prepared by Džiuljeta Maskuliūnienė, who interviewed Šiauliai university teacher, linguist Janina Barauskaitė. In the REVIEWS one can read about two translated books, i. e. Gintarė Adomaitytė presents Kabalmysteriet (The Solitaire Mystery) by Jostein Gaarder, and Asta Gustaitienė discusses The Magician’s Elephant by Kate DiCamillo.
