About the Author:
Peter Hunt was the first specialist in Children’s Literature to be appointed professor in a UK English Department; he has written or edited 16 books on the subject. In 2003 he won the International Brothers Grimm Award from the International Children’s Literature Institute, Osaka, for outstanding services to world children’s books studies.
Review:
The specialized material, introductory approach, and plenitful bibliography would make this an excellent text for a graduate course in children's literature. Approachable but noy jargon-laden, this volume could give students of nearly any critical preference a jump-start into their own research.
–Bonnie Gaarden, edinboro university of Pennsylvannia, American Literature, March 2002
The bibliographical utility and survey of the strengths and weaknesses of various critical approaches are sure to make this an influential text in the teaching of children's literature..
