CONTENTS
DESCRIPTION
This encyclopedic resource contains more than 2,500 entries on children's literature of the English-speaking world, not only Britain "from pre-Norman times to the present" and the U.S. but also Australia, Canada, India, Ireland, New Zealand, and South Africa. The book has a British slant, with Briticisms and British spelling. Entries cover titles, authors, illustrators, and terms. Also treated are series (Babar series, Little House series), genres (Classical mythology, Pantomimes, Picturebooks ), and other related subjects (Horn Book Magazine; Rollins, Charlemae ). Longer articles, some many pages in length, cover subjects such as Animals in fiction, Gay and lesbian fiction for children and young adults, and Television for children.
