A History of Children's Books in 100 Books

Examining the industry and society that produced them, this history of the books read to, or by, children worldwide explores writings from Sumerian lullabies and 15th-century prayer books, via folk and fairy tales, stories of derring-do, and fantasies about space and time, to comics and new media. Overviews of each subgenre are followed by analysis of the publications, authors and illustrators associated with them, and examples of the original artwork.
