Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Jonathan Cotts reflections and conversations with six celebrated childrens authorsnow in a new editionPipers at the Gates of Dawn is a unique ensemble bringing together Jonathan Cotts encounters and conversations with some of the most celebrated childrens authors of the twentieth century. Childrens literature, he states, brings us back to experiencing our earliest and deepest feelings and truths. It is our link to the past and a path to the future. And in it we find ourselves. Cotts firm belief is that childrens literature can impart wisdom and delight to everyone, and he believes that the masterpieces of childrens literature are simply masterpieces of literature in miniature, conveyors of wisdom and wonder.Pipers at the Gates of Dawn consists of Cotts essay-interviews with Dr. Seuss (Theodor Geisel), Maurice Sendak, William Steig, Astrid Lindgren, Chinua Achebe, P. L.Travers, and with Iona and Peter Opie, the great scholars of the lore, games, and language of schoolchildren. He explores with the authors themselves the lives of their created characters and the character of their own lives. All share with Cott an impassioned sense of the richness and complexity of childhood, and of the enduring importance of childrens literature in the lives of all of us. First published in 1981 by Random House. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781517909321
