Extractions: Our first encounters with literature take place in childhood, an age saturated with narratives that range from lullabies and hymns, fairy tales and bedtime stories, alphabets and how-to books, jokes and comic strips, beginning readers and school stories, to novels of fantasy, science fiction, and adventure. As children we listen to many different stories, become acquainted with their rhythms, learn to read narratives and create our own. As adults, we continue this literary tradition through our customs, deep-rooted and beloved, of nurturing, educating, and entertaining children. These customs, and the practices they engender, have profoundly influenced social structures and cultural mores throughout the ages. Indeed, the literature of childhood both establishes the foundations of literacy and interacts with literary history in general. - from the Preface

Parents and educators who are curious about news and issues in Children's Literature may wish to consult The Children's Book Council or About.com's Books for Kids . Since it is expensive and time consuming to produce, host and keep track of digital documents, some of these sites will disappear, though I have tried to pick among those which appear to be stable. However, I am constantly looking for new collections. Since our shelving system will be evolving toward something less primitive and more intuitively researchable, I will occasionally break a multi-topic site into its logical components.

Extractions: Movable Type 2.64 Back to "Midlife Mama" main page By Libby Gruner Children's literature means all new things to me as I read it as a mother. Last spring I taught two books I love, in two different classes, and began to wonder why I love them. In my children's literature class we were talking about Charlotte's Web , perhaps one of the most perfect novels ever written. This simple story of a pig and a spider never fails to touch me, perhaps because it seems to be essentially a fable about the strength of maternal love. Charlotte dies after saving the life of her surrogate child, Wilbur, knowing she'll never meet her own children, the spiders whose eggs she deposits carefully in their egg sac in the last creative act of her life. Even as I read it aloud in class, my eyes welled with tears as I read of her death and Wilbur's careful guarding of her eggs until they hatch the next spring. In my other class, an upper-division course for English majors, I was teaching

Extractions: Reference Desk The Fox and the Grapes But whatever be fairly due to Aesop, the human tradition called Fables is not due to him. This had gone on long before any sarcastic freedman from Phrygia had or had not been flung off a precipice; this has remained long after. It is to our advantage, indeed, to realise the distinction; because it makes Aesop more obviously effective than any other fabulist. Grimm's Tales, glorious as they are, were collected by two German students. And if we find it hard to be certain of a German student, at least we know more about him than We know about a Phrygian slave. The truth is, of course, that Aesop's Fables are not Aesop's fables, any more than Grimm's Fairy Tales were ever Grimm's fairy tales. But the fable and the fairy tale are things utterly distinct. There are many elements of difference; but the plainest is plain enough. There can be no good fable with human beings in it. There can be no good fairy tale without them. This is the immortal justification of the Fable: that we could not teach the plainest truths so simply without turning men into chessmen. We cannot talk of such simple things without using animals that do not talk at all. Suppose, for a moment, that you turn the wolf into a wolfish baron, or the fox into a foxy diplomatist. You will at once remember that even barons are human, you will be unable to forget that even diplomatists are men. You will always be looking for that accidental good-humour that should go with the brutality of any brutal man; for that allowance for all delicate things, including virtue, that should exist in any good diplomatist. Once put a thing on two legs instead of four and pluck it of feathers and you cannot help asking for a human being, either heroic, as in the fairy tales, or un-heroic, as in the modern novels.
