This work combines a history of writing for children with an assessment of its literary, sociological and pedagogical roles.

内容説明
Children's literature is a remarkable area of writing and a growing area of study.

An Introduction to Children's Literature combines a history of writing for children with an assessment of its literary, sociological, and pedagogical roles. Fundamentally a history of British children's literature, Hunt identifies fantasy, nostalgia, nature images, a sense of place of territory, testing and incitation, and warmth and security as all key characteristics of children's literature.
