Jeg har sammen med Carol Livingstone forfattet A Piece of Cake 1 på Alinea. En engelskbog for første klasse med vægten lagt på at indlæring skal være aktiverende og sjovt. Sange og lege er derfor de bærende elementer. Jeg har min baggrund som engelsklærer i over 35 år på en privatskole med høje faglige ambitioner. Jeg har undervist på alle niveauer, og var også med til at undervise helt nede fra børnehaveklassen, allerede inden lovgivningen om tidlig engelskundervisning trådte i kraft.

CHARLES DICKENS (1812 - 1870) Charles Dickens was born in Portsmouth in 1812. He was the second of eight children. Although his father was hard-working, he was unable to support his family, so Charles knew well what it meant to be poor in his days. His first job, at the age of twelve, was labelling bottles.
