Abstract:

This volume is a comprehensive survey of American children's book illustration, from the turn of the century to the present. It contains a collection of works of well-known children's book illustrators such as N.C. Wyeth, Chris Van Allsburg, Maurice Sendak, Dr. Seuss, Edward Gorey, Tomi Ungerer, and others. Essays explore four major themes -- alphabets and nursery rhymes; myths, fables, and fairy tales; stories for young listeners and readers; and adolescent adventures and mysteries -- through the works of yesterday's masters.
