When he kissed his little brother for the very last time, and looked upon his meek white face, and whispered to him his last passionate appeal to wake up before they came to carry him away, his grief was such that I care not to dwell upon it. The funeral was much like little Deb's, only that there were not so many followers. Benny had no mother to weep for him, and no sisters; Froggy was his chief and only mourner. Miss Goff came very early in the morning, and when it was time took Froggy by the hand and followed with him through the maze of busy streets, out to the quiet cemetery, where so many tired citizens had entered into their rest. There were no butter-cups and daisies yet, but the little spring flowers were beginning to come up, and in the stillness and solitude about the silent graves, there seemed to be the Shepherd's voice sounding over all, reminding the poor mourners who came to weep there, of that sweet and most consoling promise, "And they shall be Mine, saith the Lord, in that day when I shall make up My jewels." When all was over, Miss Goff took Froggy by the hand again and led him back to Shoreditch. Not to the old house with the blackened front, but to a large, clean, red brick one, standing near to the church, with the words printed over the door, in large letters, "Suffer the little children to come unto Me." This was the Orphanage of which Miss Goff was under-matron, and where Mr Wallace had arranged that Froggy should be sheltered for a time, till another home could be provided for him. There were twelve little children, altogether, in the Orphanage. Very noisy and very happy seemingly, but poor...
Jessica's First Prayer and Froggy's Little Brother are exemplars of the 'street arab' story, a genre that flourished in Victorian Britain in response to child poverty and destitution. This critical edition features the original texts of the first editions, and examines the stories through a critical lens and in their historical context.

Alice to the Lighthouse is the first and only full-length study of the relation between children's literature and writing for adults. Lewis Carroll's Alice books created a revolution in writing for and about children which had repercussions not only for subsequent children's writers - such as Stevenson, Kipling, Nesbit, Frances Hodgson Burnett and Mark Twain - but for Virginia Woolf and her generation. Virginia Woolf's celebration of writing as play rather than preaching is the twin of the Post-Impressionist art championed by Roger Fry. Dusinberre connects books for children in the late nineteenth century with developments in education and psychology, all of which feed into the modernism of the early twentieth century.
The last thirty years have witnessed one of the most fertile periods in the history of children's books: the flowering of imaginative illustration and writing, the Harry Potter phenomenon, the rise of young adult and crossover fiction, and books that tackle extraordinarily difficult subjects. The Oxford Companion to Children's Literature provides an indispensable and fascinating reference guide to the world of children's literature. Its 3,500 entries cover every genre from fairy tales to chapbooks; school stories to science fiction; comics to children's hymns. Originally published in 1983, the Companion has been comprehensively revised and updated by Daniel Hahn. Over 900 new entries bring the book right up to date. A whole generation of new authors and illustrators are showcased, with books like Dogger, The Hunger Games, and Twilight making their first appearance. There are articles on developments such as manga, fan fiction, and non-print publishing, and there is additional information on prizes and prizewinners. This accessible A to Z is the first place to look for information about the authors, illustrators, printers, publishers, educationalists, and others who have influenced the development of children's literature, as well as the stories and characters at their centre. Written both to entertain and to instruct, the highly acclaimed Oxford Companion to Children's Literature is a reference work that no one interested in the world of children's books should be without.
Colin Heywood's classic account of childhood from the early Middle Ages to the First World War combines a long-run historical perspective with a broad geographical spread. This new, comprehensively updated edition incorporates the findings of the most recent research, and in particular revises and expands the sections on theoretical developments in the 'new social studies of childhood', on medieval conceptions of the child, on parenting and on children’s literature. Rather than merely narrating their experiences from the perspectives of adults, Heywood incorporates children’s testimonies, 'looking up' as well as 'down'. Paying careful attention to elements of continuity as well as change, he tells a story of astonishing material improvement for the lives of children in advanced societies, while showing how the business of preparing for adulthood became more and more complicated and fraught with emotional difficulties. Rich with evocative details of everyday life, and providing the most concise and readable synthesis of the literature available, Heywood's book will be indispensable to all those interested in the study of childhood.
