Items related to The Cambridge Guide to Children's Books in English
The Cambridge Guide to Children's Books is an alphabetized reference work providing a critical and appreciative overview of children's books written in English worldwide. It is not a guide to "children's literature" but has a wider task--to include any author, or illustrator, or work, believed by the editors to have made a significant impact on young readers, or to have in some way influenced the development of children's books. In addition to the long-established traditions of children's writing from Great Britain and the USA, the Guide covers the increasing range of successful children's books produced in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, West Africa, and India; and the exciting renaissance in children's books currently taking place in Ireland and South Africa. Reflecting the developing scholarly appreciation for the history of children's books, The Guide gives due weight to children's books from pre-Norman times, and acknowledges recent developments in publishing practices and in children's own reading. Victor Watson is Assistant Director of Research, Homerton College, University of Cambridge. He has edited several volumes about children's literature, including Opening the Nursery Door (Routledge, 1997) and Where Texts and Children Meet (Routledge, 2000).

Book Description:
A comprehensive and authoritative survey of children's books from King Alfred to J.K. Rowling. The Guide covers work written for children not only in the UK and USA, but also Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India and Africa. It has entries on major topics (fantasy, television, picturebooks) as well as other more innovative entries such as neglected authors, child authors, music and story. The entries provide bibliographical and biographical information, and additionally seek to evaluate the success of works and authors in terms of social, cultural and historical contexts.
About the Author:
Victor Watson is Assistant Director of Research at Homerton College, University of Cambridge, and a Trustee of the Centre for the Children's Book.
