They Wrote for Children Too surveys works for children written by
literary figures usually studied in colleges and universities.
While Apseloff concentrates on authors in the literary field,
prominent philosophers and historians are examined as well. The
majority of authors are from England, the United States, France,
Germany, Russia, and Sweden, and their works are available in
English. The book is divided into three literary time periods:
pre-nineteenth century, the nineteenth century, and the twentieth
century. It identifies the major adult literary figures who
produced works for children or whose adult work has subsequently
been adapted for children. Although the emphasis is on American and
British literary figures, the book also includes Tolstoy, Voltaire,
Lorca, Cervantes, and other continental writers. Poets include
Shakespeare, Yeats, Walt Whitman, D.H. Lawrence, e.e. cummings,
Robert Frost, and others. Writers for both adults and children
include Robert Louis Stevenson, C.S. Lewis, Robert Browning, Oscar
Wilde, Randall Jarrell, and others. This bibliography will be of
interest to parents, educators, and librarians and would be a
valuable resource for Children's Literature courses.
