Michael Rosen on what he’s learned at 80
What people tell me is a bit odd about me is that I can recall every room, every bit of decor, every window, every door in the flat. And more: I can describe the rooms and corridors of the schools I went to and when I look at the old photos, I can reel off most of my classmates’ names. And more yet: if I home in on individual children, I can bring to mind the shoes they wore, or the sound of their voices, or the way they laughed or flicked their hair. And, as some people might know, I’ve written many, many times about the incidents that happened to me during that time in my books: Chocolate Cake, The Babysitter, The Go-Kart and the like.
