The Norton Anthology of Children's Literature celebrates
the richness and variety of over 350 years of literary
works for children. This groundbreaking anthology includes
170 authors and illustrators of alphabets and animal
fables, fairy tales and fantasy, picture books and nursery
verse, among many other genres. Here readers will find
beloved works by Charles Perrault, Lewis Carroll, J. M.
Barrie, L. M. Montgomery, and Dr. Seuss along with
historical classics—The New-England Primer and Robert Louis

from the multicultural and global contemporary scene. Over
40 longer complete works and over 400 illustrations,

visually rich anthology. With introductions that offer fresh insights into the
cultural contexts of children's literature and childhood
itself over four centuries, author headnotes, annotations,
bibliographies, and a timeline, The Norton Anthology of
Children's Literature illuminates a literary tradition
whose power to instruct and delight is both centuries old
and startlingly new. Slipcased paperback original, 2200
