About the Book: Stories that we read as children have always been very fascinating to us. Children's Literature is one of the oldest modes in which the young encounter stories and therefore it undoubtedly plays a key role in shaping their personality and understanding of the world.

The present book briefly traces the history of Children's Literature in English, discusses various Children's Literature theories and sheds light on the rich mosaic of the Victorian Children's Literature and the proliferation and diversity of the Contemporary Children's Writings. The author attempts to connect the past and the present through an insightful critical assessment.
