Extract
The librarian carefully lifted Byte onto the top of the monitor. Byte looked down as the librarian turned the pages of the atlas, telling Byte what they were looking at. Had anyone seen her, they might have thought her rather odd, talking to herself like that, but she had always been considered a little eccentric.
She showed Byte the countries of the world, the continents, the oceans, the seas, the mountain ranges, the deserts and the big cities, the forests, the tundras, the Steppes, the islands, the wildernesses and the civilisations.
“Which country am I in?” Byte asked. “Is it the country of The Infant Playground?”

Book dedications have always intrigued me, but so far I’ve never seen a website dedication. Perhaps this is the first. As it says in The Last Garden, “So special, so loved, so missed.” This little dedication is For Ana.
