Paperback. Condition: New. A lively and illustrated inquiry of how children's literature reflects the curious mind of a child-now available in paperback.Outstanding Academic Title for 2007, Choice MagazineIn this engaging book, Jerry Griswold examines the unique qualities of childhood experience and their reappearance as frequent themes in children's literature. Surveying dozens of classic and popular works for the young-from Heidi and The Wizard of Oz to Beatrix Potter and Harry Potter-Griswold demonstrates how great children's writers succeed because of their uncanny ability to remember what it feels like to be a kid: playing under tables, shivering in bed on a scary night, arranging miniature worlds with toys, zooming around as caped superheroes, and listening to dolls talk.

Written by a leading scholar, prize-winning author, and frequent contributor to the Los Angeles Times, this extensively illustrated book will fascinate general readers as well as all those who study childhood and children's literature.…
