First published in 1998, this volume explores how the genre of
school stories had become firmly established by the turn of the
twentieth century, having been built on the foundations laid by
writers such as Thomas Hughes and F.W. Farrar. Stories for girls
were also taking on a more exciting complexion, inspired by the
'Katy' books of Susan Coolidge. The first five decades of the
twentieth century saw further developments in children's fiction.
In this comprehensive volume, John and Jonathan Cooper examine each
decade in turn, with alphabetically arranged entries on popular
children's writers that published works in English during that
period. 206 different authors are covered, many from the United
States and Canada. Each entry provides information on the author's
pseudonyms, date of birth, nationality, titles of works, place and
date of publication and the publisher's name. The artist
responsible for a book's illustrations is also identified where
possible. With over 200 illustrations of cover designs and
dustwrappers, many of which are now rare and have never before been
published, this book will delight collectors, dealers, scholars,
librarians, parents and all those who simply enjoy reading
children's fiction.
