Books About Children's Books
Not a book about children's books, it's true. A literary conspectus of childhood itself, rather, with a historical sweep that's never allowed to obscure its editor's predisposition in children's favour and his determination to show 'some ungolden moments to counterbalance the usual codswallop'. Biased, perhaps ... but quite irresistible.
