Reviews

""...the book is a successful survey, deftly bringing together texts that deserve much more attention than they are receiving, both in terms of scholarship and children’s literature courses, which too often bear the signs of an overly rigid adherence to prevailing definitions of what counts as children’s literature."" - Heather Snell, University of Winnipeg, in Jeunesse: Young People, Texts, Cultures 9.1 (2017)
