Guide to Children`s Books in English

The Cambridge Guide to Children`s Books in English is an alphabetised reference work providing a critical and appreciative overview of children`s books written in English across the world. It gives due weight to the history of children`s books from pre-Norman times to the present – respecting the canon but also recognising current developments in publishing practices and in children`s own reading. In addition to the long established traditions of children`s writing from Britain and the USA, the Guide covers the increasing range of successful children`s books produced in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Africa and India; and the exciting renaissances in children`s books taking place in Ireland and South Africa. In acknowledging that a great deal of what children read has little to do with classrooms and not much to do with what is considered `literary`, the Guide contains entries on television, comics, annuals and the growing range of media texts.
