The Mythology of the Animal Farm in Children's Literature: Over the
Fence analyzes the ways in which myths about farmed animals' lives
are perpetuated in children's materials. Specifically, this book
investigates the use of five recurring thematic devices in about
eighty books for young children published during the past five
decades. The close readings of texts and images draw on a wide
range of fields, including animal theory, psychoanalytic and
Marxian literary criticism, child development theory, histories of
farming and domestication, and postcolonial theory. In spite of the
underlying seriousness of the project, the material lends itself to
humorous and not overly heavy-handed explications that provide
insight into the complex workings of a literary genre based on the
covering up of real animal lives.
