Book description

The recent great flowering of children's literature in this country has its roots in Europe. In this fascinating survey, Mrs. Hürlimann makes an important contribution to the history and bibliography of children's books.
The aspects of children's literature Mrs. Hürlimann describes include nursery rhymes, fairy tales, nonsense, fantasy and reality, cowboys and Indians, photography, politics, and picture books as she traces the history of children's books in Europe from Aesop's Fables, Pinocchio, and Grimm's Fairy Tales up through more recent classics like Struwwelpeter and Babar the Elephant.
She also surveys the entire contemporary European scene, describing the important modern creators of books for young people in Europe. All over Europe today, beautiful books are being written and illustrated. Many of these books are now being translated and brought to American readers.
