A History of the Children's Book in 100 Books takes a global perspective and traces the development of the genre from ancient stories such as Aesop's Fables and the Indian Panchatantra, through the Puritan primers of the 17th century, to the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm, to the highly collectable Ladybird books of the 20th century, and up to modern classics and bestsellers such as the Harry Potter series. Illustrations have often been key components of children's stories, visualizing fantastic scenes and making them instantly recognizable. Original artwork from iconic illustrators such as Arthur Rackham, Walter Crane and John Tenniel is beautifully reproduced throughout. 650 0 $a Children's books $x History. 650 0 $a Children's literature $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Children $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Illustrated children's books $x History. 650 0 $a Printing $x History. 650 0 $a Books and reading $x History. 700 1 $a Ayad, Sara, $e author. 941 $a 5 952 $l LPPC815 $d 20200801013631.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20191026010348.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20181116055116.0 952 $l DRPC413 $d 20180906020720.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20180209010613.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E9B3F3700D6611E89F934B6797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
