Summary
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. Original.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Are some of the world's most talented children's book authors essentially children themselves? In this engaging series of essays, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Alison Lurie considers this theory, exploring children's classics from many eras and relating them to the authors who wrote them, including Little Women author Louisa May Alcott and Wizard of Oz author Frank Baum, as well as Dr. Seuss and Salman Rushdie. Analyzing these and many others, Lurie shows how these gifted writers have used children's literature to transfigure sorrow, nostalgia, and the struggles of their own experiences.
