'When talking to children about world art and museum collections it is easy to shy away from political issues such as colonialism, ownership and words such as 'primitive art'. This book takes on those ideas and deals with them in a logical and simple way that does not dumb down the issues. A useful tool for any museum worker, teacher, or parent, who is interested in the reality behind world art and would like to use it as a way to inspire children. It also gives a glimpse of the amazing creativity of all human societies.' Andrew McLellan, Head of Education, Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford
