Overview: Children's literature comes from a number of different sources-folklore
(folk- and fairy tales), books originally for adults and subsequently adapted for
children, and material authored specifically for them-and its audience ranges from
infants through middle graders to young adults (readers from about 12 to 18 years
old). Its forms include picture books, pop-up books, anthologies, novels, merchandising
tie-ins, novelizations, and multimedia texts, and its genres include adventure stories,
drama, science fiction, poetry, and information books. The Historical Dictionary of
Children's Literature relates the history of children's literature through a chronology,
an introductory essay, appendixes, a bibliography, and over 500 cross-referenced dictionary
entries on authors, books, and genres. Some of the most legendary names in all of
literature are covered in this important reference, including Hans Christian Anderson,
L. Frank Baum, Lewis Carroll, Roald Dahl, Charles Dickens, C.S. Lewis, Beatrix Potter,
J.K. Rowling, Robert Louis Stevenson, Mark Twain, J.R.R. Tolkien, Jules Verne, and
E.B. White
