This extensively illustrated book is a collection of the papers
given at the 2007 annual conference of the British section of the
International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY) and the
National Centre for Research in Children's Literature (NCRCL) MA
course, Roehampton University London. It reflects the convictions
of the editors and the participants that picture books and other
illustrated texts for children are vitally important as substance
for academic debate, and that people in the English speaking world
are far too often ignorant of the wealth of literary and artistic
material deriving from other cultures and traditions. The papers
explore the diversity of modern children's book illustration and
consider its potential as a space for cultural dialogue and
exchange. They also look at ways in which illustrations are
themselves histories of art and style, arising from cultural
tradition, and the extent to which they enable us to traverse
boundaries and dissolve barriers. The sections into which this
volume is divided to some extent represent different areas of
debate: the work of illustrators from Europe and from the rest of
the world, and the response to such books by their youthful primary
audience. Attention is also paid to some of the new talent in the
area of children's book illustration. While it would be impossible
for any book to convey the richness of the visual experience of the
conference, we hope that the illustrations may go some way towards
recreating it.
