Books by Charles Fernyhough

A collection of human stories, each illustrating a facet of memory's complex synergy of cognitive and neurological functions. Drawing on case studies, personal experience and the latest research, it delves into the memories of the very young and very old, and explores how amnesia and trauma can affect how we view the past.

In luminous prose, novelist and psychologist Charles Fernyhough explains how children develop from squalling babies into walking, talking toddlers.
