Fantasy has been an important and much-loved part of children's
literature for hundreds of years, yet relatively little has been
written about it. Children's Fantasy Literature traces the
development of the tradition of the children's fantastic - fictions
specifically written for children and fictions appropriated by them
- from the sixteenth to the twenty-first century, examining the
work of Lewis Carroll, L. Frank Baum, C. S. Lewis, Roald Dahl, J.
K. Rowling and others from across the English-speaking world. The
volume considers changing views on both the nature of the child and
on the appropriateness of fantasy for the child reader, the role of
children's fantasy literature in helping to develop the
imagination, and its complex interactions with issues of class,
politics and gender. The text analyses hundreds of works of
fiction, placing each in its appropriate context within the
tradition of fantasy literature.
