acknowledged experts, this series provides jargon-free, critical
discussion and a comprehensive guide to literary and popular texts
for children. Each book introduces the reader to a major genre of

contexts in which those texts are published. Margaret Meek and

treatment of personal development, maturation and rites of passage
in literature written for children and adolescents. Including a
broad survey of the theme across a number of genres and an in-depth
analysis of the work of key writers, the authors work towards an
answer to the question What is a classic? Margaret Meek is Reader
Emeritus at the Institute of Education in London. Victor Watson is
Assistant Director of Research at Homerton College, Cambridge.
