About this title

Synopsis

This book offers a systematic introduction to some of the essential concepts necessary for the study of childrens literature. Incorporating thirteen essays from the highly-acclaimed International Companion Encyclopedia of Children's Literature , the chapters guide the reader through the most relevant areas of criticism and theory and summarise their contexts and application. Bibliographies provide details of useful further information sources and a glossary explains the literary terms encountered in the book. This work is a useful and accessible guide for readers involved both in literature and education.
