![]() ![]() Lavishly illustrated and wonderfully eclectic in scope, CHILDREN'S LITERATURE: AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY celebrates this brilliant legacy and its lasting relevance to childhoods past and present. ![]() From the publisher: "From the wise and foolish beasts of Aesop's Fables to the creatures in Max's closet in Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are, from Frances Hodgson Burnett's Little Lord Fauntleroy to the angst-ridden teenagers in Judy Blume's novels, children's literature reveals not only how drastically our perceptions of children have changed, but how tenaciously the age-old tears, fears, schemes, and dreams of childhood have stayed the same. First printing with "First published 1995" so stated and complete number row (13579 10 8642) on the copyright page. 240 illustrations, including many beautiful full color plates. This traces the history of children's books in Britain, the USA, and Canada from the first printed books through modern times. A gorgeous, pristine copy in perfect condition. Oxford & New York: Oxford University Press, 1995. ![]()
