About this title

Synopsis

"Cruikshank, Dickens, Lamb, Chesterton and J.B. Priestley are just a few of those whose writing on children's literature is represented in this volume.

By contrasting modern and not so modern views on such topics as fairy tales, comics and 'fear' in children's fiction, Nicholas Tucker has produced an entertaining and instructive compilation which focuses attention on what children enjoy reading, on what adults expect them to read, and the effects on children of what they read." -from: dust jacket flap
