	DSQ > Winter 2004
		In Michelle Magorian's work the mental illness of the mother is presented highly unsympathetically: this is a traditional topos of mad/bad parenting, as opposed to the more sympathetic and nuanced view of Needle, Pullman and Almond.
		This contrasts strongly with the view of mental illness in parenting expressed by Magorian, who presents her central child character — again called Will — as having had a wholly damaging and ineffective parenting experience.
		Magorian's is seemingly the more "realist" text; it has no fantastical qualities, and is set in a realistic historical setting.
