Description

Product Description
What should children read? As preeminent childrens literature authority Leonard S. Marcus shows incisively, thats the three-hundred-year-old question that created a rambunctious childrens book publishing scene in colonial times. And its the urgent issue that went on to fuel the transformation of twentieth-century childrens book publishing from a genteel backwater to big business. Marcus delivers a provocative look at the fierce turf wars fought among the pioneering editors, progressive educators, and librariansmost of them women throughout the twentieth century. From The New England Primer to The Cat in the Hat to Cormiers The Chocolate War, Marcus offers a richly informed, witty analysis of the pivotal books that transformed childrens book publishing, and brings alive the revealing synergy between books like these and the national mood of their times.
