Richard Hickman is Reader in the Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge, UK, and a Fellow of Homerton College.

A book that can be used in so many ways. It is honest, open and amusing and every educator could relate to at least one part of these teachers' educational experience. The lives exposed are as visual as any canvas could portray and it provides the voice art teachers have needed for years.
