The well-known essayist presents a collection of her writings on the subject of children's literature. Included are essays on Dr. Seuss, J. K. Rowling, and the social satire of L. Frank Baum's OZ books.
The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Foreign Affairs journeys into the world of children's literature in a series of essays that examine classics from diverse eras--including Alcott's Little Women and Baum's Wizard of Oz--to show how these authors used children's literature to transfigure their own struggles and experiences.
