Desert island books

[Annette Karmiloff-Smith]

well as totally unbiased as I am, I would suggest that, instead of 
Brown 1973, she take the Harvard Uni Press paperback "Pathways to 
Language: from foetus to adolescent" by my daughter and me!!
Alas I'll miss your London talk, Katie - will be away.
best wishes
Annette
