ABSTRACT
The minds of children of to-day are almost deliberately made incapable of understanding other people with different languages and customs. (Tagore 1961: 65)
Talking is not a language. It’s not a nonsense. It’s a yessence. (Nowakowski 2003)
This paper has two epigraphs. The fi rst, in chronological order, is taken from the writings of one of the few truly radical pioneers of twentieth-century education: Rabindranath Tagore. The second is taken from an essay by one of the most innovative pioneers of book design of the last halfcentury: Radoslaw Nowakowski.
