Publisher's Synopsis

Peter Hunt is a world renowned expert on children's literature. In his new book he combines a history of writing for children with an assessment of its literary, sociological, and pedagogical roles - identifying key characteristics of the genre such as fantasy, nostalgia, nature images, a sense of place or territory, testing and incitation, and the need for warmth and security.
