Aimed at anyone interested in the history of children's literature, this book also offers the general reader an insight into the changing face of American childhood through three centuries. Drawing on a vast range of sources and uncovering a wealth of previously unpublished material, this study shows how social, cultural and often very practical forces were to shape American children's literature, and how, having grown out of the traditions of Europe, it established for itself a significant and vital role in world literature.
