The Oxford Companion to Children's Literature provides an indispensable and fascinating reference guide to the world of children's literature. Its 3,500 entries cover every genre from fairy tales to chapbooks; school stories to science fiction; comics to children's hymns. Originally published in 1983, the Companion has been comprehensively revised and updated by Daniel Hahn. Over 900 new entries bring the book right up to date. A whole generation of new authors and illustrators are showcased, with books like Dogger, The Hunger Games, and Twilight making their first appearance. There are articles on developments such as manga, fan fiction, and non-print publishing, and there is additional information on prizes and prizewinners. This accessible A to Z is the first place to look for information about the authors, illustrators, printers, publishers, educationalists, and others who have influenced the development of children's literature, as well as the stories and characters at their centre. Written both to entertain and to instruct, the highly acclaimed Oxford Companion to Children's Literature is a reference work that no one interested in the world of children's books should be without. 650 0 $a Children's literature $v Dictionaries. 650 7 $a Kinderliteratur. $0 (DE-588)4073409-2 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Children's literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01759351 655 7 $a Dictionaries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423826 700 1 $a Carpenter, Humphrey. $t Oxford companion to children's literature. 700 1 $a Prichard, Mari. $t Oxford companion to children's literature. 700 1 $a Morpurgo, Michael, $e author of introduction, etc. 941 $a 6 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724073207.0 952 $l IBAX173 $d 20180307025541.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180131055354.0 952 $l OPAX566 $d 20161001011628.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826113026.0 952 $l HWAX074 $d 20151202011227.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0AC7B8C281F911E58D57CB8FDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
