Children's literature : an illustrated history by
Peter Hunt(
Book
)
1 edition published in 2001 in English and held by 276 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Of all types of literature, children's literature is probably the most varied, best-loved, and most subtly influential. Children's Literature: An Illustrated History traces the history of children's books in Britain, the USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand from the very first printed books through to the present day. It takes 'children's literature' to mean books designed for children as well as books of childhood, and so embraces everything from religious tracts to multimedia comics, from the 'classic' to the unashamedly popular

The Fairchild family by
Mary Martha Sherwood(
Book
)
21 editions published between 1902 and 2012 in English and held by 92 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The Fairchild Family is a quintessential representation of Mary Martha Sherwood's style and goals as a writer. The series follows the Fairchild family as they attempt to live godly lives. The book is divided into three parts. The first section deals with the family's sins which range from greed to jealousy to disobedience. Once the children in the family realize their sins, they are able to be redeemed. There are several deaths throughout the story which are meant to represent each character's understanding of redemption. The death of a little girl who plays with candles and burns up suggests that her disobedience causes her damnation. Oppositely, the near-death experience of a boy named Charles insinuates his redemption. The second and third sections of the book show readers how to behave morally in practical situations. These sections explain philanthropy and one's duty to the poor. The Fairchild Family was immensely popular during Sherwood's life, but changing literary tastes around the mid-19th century began to favor fantasy in children's literature rather than Sherwood's didactic style
