Review :
"Practice-based Research in Children’s Play, edited by Wendy Russell, Stuart Lester and Hilary Smith, delivers a unique take on play and playwork. This collection’s uniqueness… is the story behind the book and research projects presented in its chapters which make this edited collection one-of-a-kind. Overall, this book provides more than just a collection of different case studies on play and playwork. This is an exciting and unique book which not only provides evidence of the University of Gloucestershire’s innovative postgraduate programmes, but it also provides academics, playworkers and policymakers insight into how academic theories can be activity engaged with and put into practice." Childen's Geographies "This timely volume offers many new perspectives on an under-researched subject. It will surely help to stimulate new research into children's play." Professor Fraser Brown, Childhood Development and Playwork Team, Leeds Beckett University
