edited by Nicholas J. Karolides

Sticks And Stones : The Troublesome Success Of Children’s Literature From Slovenly Peter To Harry Potter

Attribution
Jack Zipes
Publication Details
Book, Routledge, 2001
Description
From the grisly nineteenth century moralism of Slovenly Peter (whose fingers get cut off) to the wildly successful Harry Potter books, children’s literature is in many ways the grown ups’ version - a story about childhood that adults tell to kids. Sticks and Stones argues that despite common American assumptions about children’s books, our investment in children is paradoxically curtailing their freedom and creativity.
