A few days I ago I heard this really interesting interview on npr with Seth Lerer, the author of "Children's Literature: A Reader's History from Aesop to Harry Potter." Sort of a review of the history of children's books... click here to listen.
Interesting point about how Darwin's theories and colonialism influenced children's literature...
