Abstract

For some reason, the songstress, theme park owner and extraordinary wig wearer Dolly Parton is rarely mentioned in the same context as Sir Harry Burns, Scotland's former Chief Medical Officer. Unless that context happens to be my ideal dinner party guests – Seamus Heaney and Abraham Lincoln would also be invited in case you are wondering. But from reading the Evaluation of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library for Looked After Children in Scotland, I've realised that Ms Parton and Sir Harry would have more to bond about than just shared horror of my (lack of) culinary skills. Dolly Parton's Imagination Library (DPIL) was founded in 1995 to provide pre-school children with age-appropriate books.
