    Non-Fiction should convey a sense of wonder and excitement and engender a thirst for finding out more. Clear prose that engages the reader, stirs the imagination, and awakens the mind, is every bit as important in works of non-fiction as in fiction. The best informational books are written by authors who know their subjects well, and who write about them imaginatively.
