Through compelling examples, Brian Edmiston presents the case for
why and how adults should play with young children to create with
them a 'workshop for life'.
In a chapter on 'mythic play' Edmiston confronts adult
discomfort over children's play with pretend weapons, as he
encourages adults both to support children's desires to experience
in imagination the limits of life and death, and to travel with
children on their transformational journeys into unknown
territory.
This book provides researchers and students with a sound
theoretical framework for re-conceptualising significant aspects of
pretend play in early childhood. Its many practical illustrations
make this a compelling and provocative read for any student taking
courses in Early Childhood Studies.
