The Widening World of Children's Literature

Rating:
Summary: Essential book for any student of Children's Literature
Review: This book is a well-written and highly intelligent study of the way children's literature has changed and developed through its history. It is both an easy-to-use reference book and an entertaining read for anyone with an interest in this subject. The author makes a point of examining the works of many authors who are well-respected within the genre but have been neglected by less well-informed attempts at this subject and in doing so creates a comprehensive, essential work. Highly recommended.
