Reviews
"""proves to be an important text for both comparative literature scholars and fans of these characters. It influence on the fields of comparative literature and children's literature will be felt for many years to come""--Mythlore ""the wealth of insights offered by this fabulous journey will appeal to a wide range of readers"" --Comparative Literature Studies ""Stimulating and well-structured, with in text references that connect sections addressing related topics, and careful handling of translation issues...an excellent tool both for students first approaching transnational children's literature and for scholars performing advanced studies in nineteenth-century Italian and/or English children's literature or transnational comparative literature.""--English Studies ""Laura Tosi, with Peter Hunt, offers an important work of what might be called creative criticism here. Fresh, funny, and extremely insightful, it provides a model of how children's literary criticism can partake of the delight found in fantasy for young people. That being said, this is a serious work of analysis, too, refreshing in its energy and enthusiasm, making it a thoroughly enjoyable read while changing our understanding of national and global Alice in Wonderland and Pinocchio.""--Dr. Zoe Jaques, senior lecturer in children's literature, University of Cambridge."
