A landmark work of cultural and literary scholarship, Three Centuries of Children's Books in Europe by Bettina Hürlimann presents a sweeping panorama of children's literature from the early printed book to the modern era, tracing the artistic, social, and pedagogical forces that shaped stories written for young readers across the continent. Hürlimann charts the evolution of the picture book, the fairy tale, and the moral fable through the hands of illustrators, printers, and authors spanning Germany, France, Britain, Switzerland, and beyond, illuminating how each nation's distinct cultural identity left an indelible mark on its literature for children.
