Cloth, 8vo, 24 cm, x, [4], 586, [2] pp, ills, facs. Covers all aspects of children's literature. "More than 900 biographical entries deal with authors, illustrators, printers, publishers, educationists: among these, major figures are given extensive and penetrating consideration. Other entries cover traditional narrative materials; characters from books, cartoons, comic strips, radio, and television; genres such as school stories, science fiction, dime novels; printing and reproduction processes; and many aspects of children's play and learning. The plots of major works of fiction are summarized, with accounts of their publishing history and evaluations of their standing with today's readers. The historical span stretches from the early romances and legends enjoyed by children (though not composed for them) to the major publishing industry that children's books represent today. Equal attention is given to works from Britain, the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and to those of non-English-language origin that have been assimilated into our children's reading; there are also brief surveys of the development and current state of children's literature in all countries for which reliable information is available. Apart from being a sine qua non for parents, teachers, and librarians, The Oxford Companion to Children's Literature contains useful reference material for collectors of early printed works and students of folk literature; it is besides an entertaining and enlightening book for anyone concerned with children's educational and imaginative development." - from the blurb.

This scarce book is a fascinating first hand account of how the British Army revolutionized sniping during World War I. Drawing on his experience as a big-game hunter and marksman, Hesketh-Prichard was instrumental in establishing the First Army School of Scouting, Observation and Sniping. The book blends vivid frontline anecdotes with detailed instruction on sniper training, camouflage, observation techniques, and counter-sniping tactics. Hesketh-Prichard viewed trench sniping as "a very high-class form of big game shooting, in which the quarry shot back," and his methods helped turn the tide against German snipers on the Western Front. It also includes appendices outlining the sniper school's curriculum and emphasizes the importance of scientific training and mental discipline. His innovations are credited with saving thousands of Allied lives. Ref A4 7. Ernest Blaikley (illustrator). …
