"Fantasy has been an important and much-loved part of children's literature for hundreds
of years, yet relatively little has been written about it. Children's Fantasy Literature
traces the development of the tradition of the children's fantastic - fictions specifically
written for children and fictions appropriated by them - from the sixteenth to the
twenty-first century, examining the work of Lewis Carroll, L. Frank Baum, C. S. Lewis,
Roald Dahl, J. K. Rowling and others from across the English-speaking world. The volume
considers changing views on both the nature of the child and on the appropriateness
of fantasy for the child reader, the role of children's fantasy literature in helping
to develop the imagination, and its complex interactions with issues of class, politics
and gender. The text analyses hundreds of works of fiction, placing each in its appropriate
context within the tradition of fantasy literature"--amazon.com
