Houndsfield Literary Canon
The books in this collection represent a range of faiths, ethnicities, beliefs, disabilities and relationships. They are a mix of classic British literature and more
modern stories. The aim is to provide all the children with cultural capital from reading by presenting them with a range of genres, authors and styles so
that they can learn about the enjoyment can give us. The books in these lists are not intended to be exhaustive - they are just a very small suggestion and
children are encouraged to read beyond this.
