Though this book might be a bit outdated, there are a lot of basic foundational ideas and concepts explained in detail. A must-read for researchers.

Interesting--I learned a lot and this was really helpful in pointing me towards older texts that I should look into. Definitely not for casual readers.

Absolutely outstanding and invaluable! I got my copy used for $1.00 and thought I'd found gold. It's the best history of pre-20th century children's literature I've ever read.
