Présentation de l'éditeur
This practical guide provides a comprehensive and inviting introduction to English–language children′s literature from the eighteenth–century to 2000.

S. Lewis′s ′Narnia′ books, to Charlotte′s Web and Harriet the Spy, as well as influential translations, such as Emil and the Detectives. Discussion of important issues, themes and genres, including censorship, postcolonialism, fantasy, gender, illustration, and literacy. All of the entries are supported by up–to–date critical bibliographies.
