Edited by Barbara Harrison and Gregory Maguire, the volume presents a wide-ranging dialogue between authors, illustrators, critics, and educators who argue passionately for the intellectual and moral weight of children's books as a serious literary form. The tone throughout is both scholarly and warmly accessible, balancing academic rigor with a genuine love for the genre. Contributors examine how stories shape childhood imagination, address difficult truths, and reflect the values of the societies that produce them, illustrating the profound responsibility carried by those who write for children. A landmark work in the field, it remains an essential resource for students, teachers, librarians, and anyone who believes that the books we give to children matter deeply.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48839338852571,"sku":"2026770001678-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b4b12e76-6ee0-4044-aa59-0d72fbcc3d6e.png?v=1780560829","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770001678-secondhand-innocence-experience-essays-conversations-on-childrens-literature","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
