This is an original, scholarly yet accessible contribution to the
field of children's fiction. It focuses on gender in relation to
children's fiction and the role that language plays in this
relationship. Girls' and boys' reading itself is looked at, as well
as the books that they encounter including the Harry Potter series,
Louis Sachar's prizewinning Holes, fairy tales and school reading
schemes. The book treats fiction as fiction, using as its guiding
principles the multimodality of much childrens fiction; that
fiction is almost always dialogic; that the feminist movement has
had considerable influence on textual representations of women,
men, boys and girls and that language (including what the
characters say, and how, and what is said about them) is a key to
the different readings of fictional texts. This will be a valuable
resource for researchers in and students of linguistics, language
studies and English literature.
