With its range of expert contributors, this is a key resource for teachers, writers, illustrators, librarians, parents/guardians and everyone interested in children's books.
"Welcome to lnis 40! We wanted to mark this exciting anniversary issue by exploring the theme of 'Old and New'
in today's world of children's literature. Change and continuity are interwoven in the relationships between childhood and adulthood and between storyteller and audience as narratives are exchanged, transformed and retold from one generation and one medium to another."
