Paperback | 476 pages\u00a0| \u00a322.95 | \u20ac25.95 | $29.95 | ISBN 9781908980298<\/div>\n

This volume of twenty essays presents a unique insight into the world of Scottish children\u2019s literature throughout the long nineteenth century. From periodicals to poetry, chapbooks to fairy tales, short stories to plays, it reveals the richness and diversity of writing for children in this period.<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
As well as revisiting much-loved authors such as Stevenson, Barrie, and MacDonald, it explores the neglected role of women writers, the significant contribution of Gaelic authors, and the role of folklore and tradition. Essays also look at children as literary protagonists, and as readers themselves. In recovering these marginal voices and texts, and in showing how well-known stories explore questions of culture, identity, and language, The Land of Story-Books<\/i> seeks to restore the traditions of children\u2019s writing to the heart of Scottish literary history.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Growing Up With Books<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Little History of Children\u2019s Literature as seen through the Collection at Edinburgh\u2019s Museum of Childhood<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Edited by Sarah Dunnigan and Danielle Howarth<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paperback | 73 pages\u00a0| \u00a36.00 | ISBN 9781527224209<\/p>\n

To accompany the exhibition, Growing Up With Books<\/strong>, at Edinburgh’s Museum of Childhood, SELCIE produced its own book, Growing Up With Books. A Little History of Children’s Literature as seen through Edinburgh’s Museum of Childhood<\/em>.<\/strong> Written collaboratively by the SELCIE team, the book presents specially chosen highlights from the Museum’s unique archive. It was featured in the Edinburgh International Book Festival 2018.<\/p>\n

Individual chapters offer a beautifully illustrated journey into the different worlds of early children’s literature\u00a0 —\u00a0 from the earliest nursery rhymes and alphabet books to religion, education, and learning; from conduct and advice literature to fairy tales and fantasy.\u00a0 It shows how the archive presents a ‘living history’ of children’s literature\u00a0 –\u00a0 its books, once owned by children of all ages, vividly illustrate how we ‘grow with books’, and how they can hold more stories than the one printed on the page.\u00a0 It also presents the first written account of the history of Edinburgh’s much loved Museum of Childhood.<\/p>\n
