Oxford University Press - 1984. - 586 pages - illustrated >>> Covers all aspects of children's literature. "More than 900 biographical entries deal with authors, illustrators, printers, publishers, educationists: among these, major figures are given extensive and penetrating consideration. Other entries cover traditional narrative materials; characters from books, cartoons, comic strips, radio, and television; genres such as school stories, science fiction, dime novels; printing and reproduction processes; and many aspects of children's play and learning. The plots of major works of fiction are summarized, with accounts of their publishing history and evaluations of their standing with today's readers. The historical span stretches from the early romances and legends enjoyed by children (though not composed for them) to the major publishing industry that children's books represent today. Equal attention is given to works from Britain, the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and to those of non-English-language origin that have been assimilated into our children's reading; there are also brief surveys of the development and current state of children's literature in all countries for which reliable information is available. Apart from being a sine qua non for parents, teachers, and librarians, The Oxford Companion to Children's Literature contains useful reference material for collectors of early printed works and students of folk literature; it is besides an entertaining and enlightening book for anyone concerned with children's educational and imaginative development." - (from the blurb).  *N.B.*   If you buy more than one book from me you only pay R 6 postage each on each additional - See what else I have to offer, it might be worth your while.

Sweet and positive in its message, with bright, eye-catching art, this book is an uplifting celebration of rain! 'Singing in the Rain' is one of the world's best-loved songs and the centrepiece of one of my favourite films. I love the song's positive message, and the iconic sequence of Gene Kelly dancing in the rain always raises a smile. As adults we tend to think of rain as an inconvenience rather than the joyous thing that it is. Next time it rains, step outside, feel the rain on your face, and give the clouds up above your biggest smile!'
