An Enduring Magic- Treasures of Children's Literature
Catalogue 92
2025.
Catalogue (270x210mm). 64PP.
Children's literature is easy to talk about but difficult to define. Are they books written for children? So many of the books most popular with children were written for adults. Books widely read by children, then? This would include The Bible and a number of purely educational texts, which would not readily fall into most people's notion of a children's book. The fact is that whilst books have been read to or by children for as long as they have existed, the concept of writing and publishing books specifically for the enjoyment of children is a fairly recent phenomenon.
This catalogue charts the development of children's literature from the earliest stages to the present day through a sequence of books, manuscripts and paintings, which we hope you will agree, demonstrates through the vivid imagination of childhood, an enduring magic.
