AUTHOR
SUMMARY
Children's responses to literature are equally fascinating from the psychological and the literary point of view. Nicholas Tucker's exploratory study traces the relationship between the child and the book using both these perspectives, from the baby's first picture book to the moment when the adolescent reader takes up adult literature. In addition, it examines critically arguments for extra care and censorship in the selection of books for children, and conversely looks at what children's books can offer the adult reader. Ranging from nursery rhymes and fairy stories to comics, popular bestsellers and modern children's writing, the author's acute criticism offers a balanced view of a stimulating and sometimes controversial subject.Tucker, Nicholas is the author of 'Child and the Book: A Psychological and Literary Exploration - Nicholas Tucker - Paperback - Canto ed' with ISBN 9780521398350 and ISBN 0521398355.
