At Christmas 1936, Presbyterian children in New Zealand raised over
GBP400 for an x-ray machine in a south Chinese missionary hospital.
From the early 1800s, thousands of children in the British world
had engaged in similar activities, raising significant amounts of
money to support missionary projects world-wide. But was money the
most important thing? Hugh Morrison argues that children's
education was a more important motive and outcome. This is the
first book-length attempt to bring together evidence from across a
range of British contexts. In particular it focuses on children's
literature, the impact of imperialism and nationalism, and the role
of emotions.
