Reviews

“The Childhood of Famous Americans books had tremendous reach and richly deserve the kind of careful attention Pfitzer gives them. The back-and-forth between author and creators is fascinating in terms of recent questions in the children’s lit field around who creates children’s books and the way mainstream publishing as an institution has been a barrier to diversity of authors and themes.”—Sara L. Schwebel, author of Child-Sized History: Fictions of the Past in U.S. Classrooms “‘From Boys to Men’ has an impressive amount of archival research and provides a vivid, telling rendering of the inner working of an American publishing house.” —Paige Gray, author of Cub Reporters: American Children’s Literature and Journalism in the Golden Age
