Editorial Reviews
Review
"I found [the book] useful and important, not just for teachers of children's literature, but for British and American cultural studies. [The press is] to be congratulated [for an] excellent reference work."--College Literature
Product Description
Hunt here offers a history of children's literature--primarily British, although including American and other works as well--along with an assessment of its literary, sociological, and pedagogical roles. In addition, Hunt looks at the uses to which children's literature is put, the claims that are made for it, and the difference between children's and adults' ways of reading.
