Children's literature, as we know it today, first came into
existence in Britain in the eighteenth century. This book is the
first major study to consider who the first users of this new
product were, which titles they owned, how they acquired and used
their books, and what they thought of them. Evidence of these
things is scarce. But by drawing on a diverse array of sources,
including inscriptions and marginalia, letters and diaries,
inventories and parish records, and portraits and pedagogical
treatises, and by pioneering exciting methodologies, it has been
possible to reconstruct both sociological profiles of consumers and
the often touching experiences of individual children. Grenby's
discoveries about the owners of children's books, and their use,
abuse and perception of this new product, will be key to
understanding how children's literature was able to become
established as a distinct and flourishing element of print culture.
