Review:
"Quickly and astutely . . this book makes its case that 'children' transcend a simple classification as a subaltern group of culture and society, placing them more in the context of a 'genesis' site for mankind's wonder, fear and imagination. "Nursery Realms" is clearly a thoughtful and deliberate exploration of an important theme, and as such is definitely a must for any scholar interested in expanding the conversation of cultural understanding of mankind's place in the universe and, more importantly, in relationship between man and himself."--John W. Wright, Louisiana State University
