Colouring in isn't just a sacrilege, it's a bad joke.

If you read the books from the age of six or seven onwards, which I did, it's a piece of imaginative participation. The books never felt holy to me- they were simply a source of great pleasure. My colouring was incredibly primitive, but I'd talk to the characters while I did it. It took me into the story.

At the time, I couldn't imagine not colouring them in.

As I grew older, my relationship with the books became more "intellectual". My copy of 'Great Northern' isn't coloured in- but then it was always my least favourite of the series anyway.
