Don't Tell the Grown-Ups: The Subversive Power of Children's Literature
Don't Tell the Grown-Ups: The Subversive Power of Children's Literature
In sixteen spirited essays, Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Alison Lurie, who is also one of our wittiest and most astute cultural commentators, explores the world of children's literature--from Lewis Carroll to Dr. Seuss, Mark Twain to Beatrix Potter--and shows that the best-loved children's books tend to challenge rather than uphold respectable adult values.
