Beskrivning
Peter Hunt is a world renowned expert on children's literature. In his new book he combines a history of writing for children with an assessment of its literary, sociological, and pedagogical roles - identifying key characteristics of the genre such as fantasy, nostalgia, nature images, a sense of place or territory, testing and incitation, and the need for warmth and security.
Senior Lecturer in the School of English, University of Wales, Cardiff, Peter Hunt is the author of many books on children's literature and organized the first course on children's literature at a U.K. university.
