Childhood and Children’s Literature

This collection introduces and explores the captivating world of children’s literature from its origins up to the early 20th century. From the moralising tales of the early 17th century to the advent of illustration; from nursery rhymes and enthralling fairy tales to poignant orphan narratives and haunting school stories that instigated essential social reforms; and from exciting adventures and fantasies to diverting books of nonsense and engaging animal stories.
