Review Alice To the Lighthouse: Children's Books and Radical Experiments in Art / Palgrave Macmillan:

Alice to the Lighthouse is the first and only full-length study of the relation between children's literature and writing for adults. Lewis Carroll's Alice books created a revolution in writing for and about children which had repercussions not only for subsequent children's writers-Stevenson, Kipling, Nesbit, Frances Hodgson Burnett and Mark Twain-but for Virginia Woolf and her generation. Virginia Woolf's celebration of writing as play rather than preaching is the twin of the Post-Impressionist art championed by Roger Fry. Juliet Dusinberre connects books for children in the late nineteenth century with developments in education and psychology, all of which feed into the modernism of the early 20th century.

Review The Secret of the White Buffalo: An Oglala Legend (Native Legends) / Tundra Books:

When the buffalo herds fail to appear one spring, a village in the Black Hills of South Dakota finds itself in turmoil: the people grow selfish and the elders lose their authority. But a beautiful woman comes, bearing a message. Only if the people learn to cooperate in the building of a great tipi, will she return with the first peace pipe and the rules of how it must be offered to the earth. Her message delivered, she returns to the hills and is transformed into a white buffalo, which in turn becomes a grazing herd.

Review Deconstructing the Hero: Literary Theory and Children's Literature / Routledge:

Deconstructing the Hero explores the structure and meaning of one of the most popular literary genres-the adventure story. It offers analytical readings of some of the most widely read books such as Treasure Island and Robinson Crusoe, and describes how these stories are influential in shaping children's perceptions and values. Since many of these stories marginalize ethnic minority groups and women, there is the danger of instilling or perpetuating these values in an impressionable audience. Margery Hourihan shows us how we can teach our children to read more critically, helping to prevent the establishment of negative attitudes and to promote more positive values.
