Sarah

Looks like a good running order. Bringing Up Baby reminds me of a heartbreaking moment in a book called Mother Nature by Sarah Blaffer Hrdy, primatologist and anthropologist. At one point, discussing data on maternal behaviour in monkeys reared without a mother, she mentions that all the experiment subjects were "recruited" by removing them from their mothers - who pined, devastated, for their lost children. In a book full of infanticide and neglect, that was the bit that left me tearful.

Have a good festival!
