«Overall, this collection is worthy of your time if you are comfortable reading English and/or German, and are interested in a broad overview of how narratology can benefit children’s literature research. The volume is well structured and offers approximately the same amount of English and German essays. It also demonstrates the scope of both narratology and children’s literature scholarship as much broader than linguistic barriers may lead one to believe.»(Vera N.
