The Cambridge Companion to Children's Literature
Some of the most innovative and spell-binding literature has been written for young people, but only recently has academic study embraced its range and complexity. This Companion offers a state-of-the-subject survey of English-language children's literature from the seventeenth century to the present. With discussions ranging from eighteenth-century moral tales to modern fantasies by J. K. Rowling and Philip Pullman, the Companion illuminates acknowledged classics and many more neglected works. Its unique structure means that equal consideration can be given to both texts and contexts. Some chapters analyse key themes and major genres, including humour, poetry, school stories, and picture books. Others explore the sociological dimensions of children's literature and the impact of publishing practices. Written by leading scholars from around the world, this Companion will be essential reading for all students and scholars of children's literature, offering original readings and new research that reflects the latest developments in the field.

The Didacticism That Laughs: John Newbery's Entertaining Little Books and William Hogarth's Pictured Morals
In spite of this, they pay much closer attention to the adventures of a protagonist like Tom Jones, imagining that \"by observing his behaviour and success to regulate their own practices, when they shall be engaged in the like part\" (69). [...] Johnson concluded, children should be given only universal paragons-that is, characters who are unambiguously admirable-rather than life-like ones who are attractive in spite of their faults.

Preface to the Special Issue: 'Hidden, but not Forgotten': Hans Christian Andersen's Legacy in the Twentieth Century
Most of us know only the handful of tales that have been the backbone of Andersen anthologies for decades - The Princess and the Pea, The Swineherd, The Little Match Girl, The Nightingale, The Red Shoes, The Steadfast Tin Soldier, The Tinderbox (and even those may not be familiar to a surprising number of people, as I discovered when curating an exhibition on Andersen's illustrators). In dramatic adaptations, whether for film, a children's theater piece, or opera, the story doesn't have enough business to sustain even a short production, so the scriptwriter is obliged to freely insert new characters, incidents, and dialogue into the original outline, often sacrificing Andersen's distinctive combination of humor, pathos, and satire in the process.

Frederick Lock's Scrapbook: Patterns in the Pictures and Writing in the Margins
Immel describes the scrapbook made in the late 18th century by Frederick Lock when he was about five years old, specifically the patterns in the picture and writing in the margins. The process she describes opens out into a perfect metaphor for the art of book making with the child cutting up existing books to make a book of his own. He remarks it as unprepossessing but nevertheless richly suggestive, bearing witness to extraordinarily complex interactions between image, text, child, family, and culture in the process of becoming literate.
