One of my favourite children's books, meanwhile, is Spectacles by the great Ellen Raskin. Driven to fancy by his heroic reading, Quixote's adventures consist of a sequence of things inadequately perceived - and as a result his world becomes richer and the world of his acquaintances does too. Arguably the greatest work of literature, Don Quixote, is all about misperceptions. Not that misperceptions have been ignored until now. It's made me value misperceptions a little more than I used to. It's made me think a bit about this whole business of perceptions and misperceptions. This is maddening for everyone else, but I'm always fascinated by the creativity of what the human brain comes up with - and the certainty I feel that my reading of a situation has been correct even when it hasn't. Over the last few months I've started to lose my hearing a little, so now my brain makes guesses when people talk to me too. My eyes aren't brilliant, which means when I walk around my brain often makes guesses at stuff.
