Children's literature comes from a number of different
sources-folklore (folk- and fairy tales), books originally for
adults and subsequently adapted for children, and material authored
specifically for them-and its audience ranges from infants through
middle graders to young adults (readers from about 12 to 18 years
old). Its forms include picturebooks, pop-up books, anthologies,
novels, merchandising tie-ins, novelizations, and multimedia texts,
and its genres include adventure stories, drama, science fiction,
poetry, and information books. The Historical Dictionary of
Children's Literature relates the history of children's literature
through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, a
bibliography, and over 500 cross-referenced dictionary entries on
authors, books, and genres. Some of the most legendary names in all
of literature are covered in this important reference, including
Hans Christian Anderson, L. Frank Baum, Lewis Carroll, Roald Dahl,
Charles Dickens, C.S. Lewis, Beatrix Potter, J.K. Rowling, Robert
Louis Stevenson, Mark Twain, J.R.R. Tolkien, Jules Verne, and E.B.
White.
