Publisher's Note
A tribute to more than 350 years of literary works features the fables, alphabet stories, fairy tales, nursery rhymes, picture books, and illustrations of 170 authors and artists, in a slipcased volume that includes discussions on the cultural contexts of children's literature as well as author annotations and bibliographies.

Industry Reviews
"Zipes and his collaborators cull from fables, nursery rhymes, comics, poetry, plays, science fiction and fantasy, providing a lens through which the evolution of childhood itself can be viewed. The scope is expansive--the fairy tales hail from Grimm and Perrault, but also from Francesca Lia Block and Julius Lester...A mile wide and very deep, this is an invaluable resource for professionals, but fun for casual perusing, too."
Publishers Weekly (10/03/2005)

"Don't be daunted by the book's proportions; a careful examination reveals the intelligence and care that its editors...are selectors, not collectors, and their book, for all its exhaustiveness, is lucid, reader-friendly and--most important--fun...Authors of adult fiction would do well to take a (thin) page from this estimable, erudite and enjoyable anthology, which reminds us how much pleasure matters in reading, for grown-ups as well as for children."
New York Times Book Review - David Leavitt (11/13/2005)

"[T]he coverage is impressive...Color plates convey the astonishing variety of visual art in books from Struwwelpeter onward, and are enough to make anyone feel a little nostalgic."
New Yorker (12/12/2005)
