520    Children's Literature charts the makings of the Western 
       literary imagination from Aesop's fables to Mother Goose, 
       from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland to Peter Pan, from 
       Where the Wild Things Are to Harry Potter. Seth Lerer here
       explores the iconic books, ancient and contemporary alike,
       that have forged a lifelong love of literature in young 
       readers during their formative years. Along the way, Lerer
       also looks at the changing environments of family life and
       human growth, schooling and scholarship, and publishing 
       and politics in which children found themselves changed by
       the books they read. This ambitious work appraises a broad
       trajectory of influences--including Shakespeare's plays, 
       John Locke's theories of education, Darwin's On the Origin
       of Species, and the Puritan tradition--which have each 
       shaped children's literature through the ages as well.--
