Recensioner i media

...we are reminded not only of the vital role played by children's books in shaping the Homers, Virgils and Dantes of successive generations, but also of the fact that, to date, children's literature has been a significant lacuna in the reception studies of these authors. Vaclavik's elegant book plays an admirable role in filling that gap.' -- Bryn Mawr Classical Review Bryn Mawr Classical Review
