"This is a history of children's literature, an analysis of the modern conception of childhood, a study of the stylistics of children's literature, and a rhetorical examination of children's novels. All these are connected by a thesis exploring the nature of children's play and what it reveals about children's biological nature and the nature of their literature. "--Provided by publisher.
