Children's literature continues to be one of the most rapidly
expanding and exciting of interdisciplinary academic studies, of
interest to anyone concerned with literature, education,
internationalism, childhood or culture in general. The second
edition of Peter Hunt's bestselling International Companion
Encyclopedia of Children's Literature offers comprehensive coverage
of the subject across the world, with substantial, accessible,
articles by specialists and world-ranking experts. Almost
everything is here, from advanced theory to the latest practice -
from bibliographical research to working with books and children
with special needs. This edition has been expanded and includes
over fifty new articles. All of the other articles have been
updated, substantially revised or rewritten, or have revised
bibliographies. New topics include Postcolonialism, Comparative
Studies, Ancient Texts, Contemporary Children's Rhymes and
Folklore, Contemporary Comics, War, Horror, Series Fiction, Film,
Creative Writing, and 'Crossover' literature. The international
section has been expanded to reflect world events, and now includes
separate articles on countries such as the Baltic states, the Czech
and Slovak Republics, Iran, Korea, Mexico and Central America,
Slovenia, and Taiwan.
