Overview

Comprehensive and visually rich, this new Norton Anthology, in a beautiful slipcased gift edition, traces the remarkable innovation and enduring pleasures of children's literature.

The Norton Anthology of Children's Literature brings together the work of 170 writers and illustrators, tracing the historical development of genres and traditions over 350 years of children's literature in English. Drawing on new scholarship exploring the social and cultural contexts of children's literature, this flexible core anthology provides a teachable collection for a wide range of courses — the historical survey and period courses; theme- or topic-based courses; and interdisciplinary courses.
