Princeton Alumni Weekly: Features Web Exclusives lit crit Frederick Crews *58, author of The pooh Perplex, pokes the Academy Milne wrote for children, but he also aimed over their heads at an adult http://www.princeton.edu/~paw/web_exclusives/features/features_013002a.html
Extractions: Lit crit Frederick Crews *58, author of The Pooh Perplex, pokes the Academy once more with his new book, Postmodern Pooh By David Marcus '92 Frederick Crews *58 has returned in his writing to several major authors, among them Sigmund Freud, Nathaniel Hawthorne - and A.A. Milne. The Viennese psychiatrist and the New England novelist have been objects of academic study for Crews, but the English children's author has been an inspiration. In 1963 Crews wrote the satire Pooh Perplex, in which he offered a set of essays by fictitious English professors about Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh books. The combination of Pooh and literary criticism allows Crews to skewer the critics. Gulag calls Christopher Robin "a proleptic Mao figure." Another critic bearing a suspicious likeness to Yale University's Harold Bloom compares Pooh to Falstaff. In addition to advancing dubious propositions, Crews's critics quote from actual works. A recovered-memory expert cites an especially choice passage: "It is possible to prove how lasting and influential childhood memories can be, in lower forms of life. . . . Using his shock aversion technique on fruit-fly larvae, Tim Tully . . . has shown that childhood memories last through something as strikingly disruptive as metamorphosis."
Kid Stuff In a poll to determine the nation s favourite reads, children s books made up over a From classics like Black Beauty and winnie the pooh to all four http://www.goodreports.net/essays/kidstuff.htm
Extractions: By Alex Good The headline of the BBC report announcing the results said it all: "Top 100 books are child's play." In a poll to determine the nation's favourite reads, children's books made up over a third of the titles chosen. From classics like Black Beauty and Winnie the Pooh to all four installments (thus far) of the Harry Potter franchise, kid stuff ruled. The news comes hard on the heels of a piece I wrote recently on the new popularity of children's lit. What set me off then was a column by Philip Marchand in the Toronto Star on the gender gap among readers. What I found even more interesting was the age gap. According to Professor David Booth at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) at the University of Toronto, "Boys stop reading fiction at the age of 12 or 13 . . . If they read a novel after that, it's because they've been told to in school." As I pointed out, there was probably some explanation here of why The Lord of the Rings and The Catcher in the Rye hold top spot on all of those "favourite book" lists. These may be the

Extractions: Jennifer A. Salcido, Managing Arts Editor The essays and voices in this collection are as varied as the furry little creatures that populate the Hundred Acre Wood that it deconstructs. Everyone from renowned literary critics to militant feminists to cultural studies buffs sporting strobe-lights and MIDI-sequenced background music has a say in this piece of timeless cultural criticism. Here we have Marxist readings, feminist readings, queer readings, cyberculture readings, gender studies readings, postmodern readings, poststructuralist readings, parental readings; we have men talking about women, women talking about women, women talking about men talking about women, men talking about pigs and kangaroos and huge colonial oppressors (or, in laymens terms, the Heffalump). Seemingly every permutation (and yet theyve barely scratched the surface! Im left begging for a sequel) of Pooh studies are represented, and represented well. The reading is largely accessible, exceedingly interesting and always entertaining. The writers take as many shots at each other as they do at the zaftig bear and his creator (Milne), and they spare no time in overturning and complicating each others theses. What results from the interplay of the theories and their authors themselves is a carefully layered argumentan exercise in proving the benefits of not taking cultural texts for granted, no matter how simple they may seem. It is, after all, this same spirit of imagination and fantasy that Milnes characters encouraged in the first placewhy, then, should we be so reluctant to adopt this philosophy in writing/reading criticism of it?

Women Children's Book Illustrators--Ida Rentoul Outhwaite Women Children s Book Illustrators of the 19th and 20th centuriesIda Books like Dr. Dolittle, Jungle Book, winnie the pooh and Babar had caught the http://www.ortakales.com/Illustrators/Outhwaite.html
Extractions: Described as being just as petite and dainty as her fairies, Ida Rentoul Outhwaite was the first Australian childrens book illustrator to achieve world fame. She loved to paint fairies that often played with the native kangaroos, koalas and kookaburras that populated her beloved bush land. Childhood Ida Sherbourne Rentoul was born in Melbourne, Australia on 9 June 1888 to Annie Isobel Rattray and John Laurence Rentoul, a Professor at the University of Melbourne. Having lost two older children while they were still quite young, the remainder of the family consisted of two boys and two girls. The Rentouls were a well-educated family, interested in all forms of literature, art and music. Education It has been said that Ida was able to draw birds before the age of two and that she was able to copy the images on her nursery walls. While it was the eldest sister Annie (b. 1882) that was scholastically inclined, Ida chose to doodle in the margins of her books. For fear of squashing Idas emerging style, her parents decided against sending her to drawing lessons. Speaking about her early work, she had this to say: I used to find great difficulty in drawing feet in those days, and was almost in despair until I hit on the happy plan of hiding them in deep luxuriant grasses (which was no doubt very wicked). I just had to plod along without having any teaching, which was a pity. I should have been a much better artist if I could have studied more and amused myself less.
Extractions: Review by Mary Thomas. excerpt: The home of all the 'Animals in the forest' can be found between East Grinstead and Tunbridge Wells, at the village of Hartfield in Sussex. A useful map showing you the main places connected with the book is sold at the Pooh Corner shop in Hartfield itself. The map was produced by Maire McQueeny who leads walks through 'Pooh country' several times every year. One of the best places to begin is at Pooh Car Park near Chuck Hatch... (from the chapter on Winnie-the-Pooh) If you are a parent planning to take your young-to-adolescent-aged child(ren) to Britain this summer, this book will be a great help to your mutual enjoyment of the trip. You must, however, get started immediately, as the relevance and major interest of the walks described comes from an intimate acquaintance with the books in whose settings they take place. What Frank Barrett has written is a travel guide to places that are readily recognizable as the settings of many favourite children's books, pointing out where the action has taken place as well as any significance the spots may have had in the lives of the authors. Therefore, we visit the Lake District in order to see, for example, the pub that is pictured in

Companion Article: Interview About Harry Potter There are lots of children s books, past and present, which have appealed to adults.I think I was seventeen when somebody introduced me to winnie the pooh. http://www.covchurch.org/cov/companion/article/0009harryinterview.html
Extractions: Harry Potter Interview Joyce Markle, professor of English at National-Louis University (NLU) in Evanston, Illinois, has been teaching popular literature (Pop Lit) since 1980, and was one of the first to teach popular literature at the university level. She talked with the Companion about some of the reasons why the Harry Potter books have sold so well. Covenant Companion: Why are the Potter books selling so well? Joyce Markle: Generally, popular books, as opposed to serious or classic literature, sell well when they accomplish at least three things: 1) They have to follow the formulas that have appealed to the target audience in the past. Popular literature is directed at a limited audience. A given work is not aimed at just anybody. Some target audiences are larger than othersand some works attempt to "cross over" and appeal to readers outside the primary target audience. But, the writer and the publisher know from the past history of a given genre what kinds of daydreamsimages, character, and plot ingredientsthe intended audience prefers. A successful work is creative and fresh, but always within the limits of those formulas. Violating those formulas will disturb the audience in ways it does not want to be disturbed when it picks up its favorite kind of pop lit.
Main Title Puffin books were, and for all I know still are, children s books, The original winnie the pooh, on the other handa bogstandard Harrods teddy http://www.aslan.demon.co.uk/truth.htm
Extractions: What is truth? I am not going to be photographed with that bloody bear! Christopher Robin Milne, cica 1975, attrib. Pontius Pilate famously asked 'What is truth?' and did not wait for an answer. Had he done so, he would have found that Christ's words were, in Latin (or possibly Greek) an anagram of the phrase 'It is the man you see before you.' This information would be a good deal more impressive if not for the fact that I had learned it from the Puffin Book of Jokes. 'Puffin' books were, and for all I know still are, children's books, a sub-imprint of Penguin. When I was growing up they went to great lengths to instill a sense of brand loyalty and corporate identity in literate kiddies. There was a rather ludicrous Puffin club involving a cute enamel badge, a secret code and an annual exhibition where you could meet famous authors. I do not know the name of the author of the Puffin Book of Jokes, but he wrote it on my copy of the book. (Roald Dahl was there on the same day; if I'd joined his queue the book would probably be worth something.) I don't know precisely what Greek anagrams were doing in a joke book. I think that 'jokes' were understood to include puzzles, riddles and word-games. The anonymous or at any rate forgotten author wanted to make the point that people (but only silly people, with tonsures, in the Olden Days) used to think that anagrams were a serious business; that they pored over sacred texts to tease out hidden meanings. 'I can't imagine how much time they used to waste on this' said the author 'There are an awful lot of words in the Bible.'

Extractions: LITEM039: Case Studies (Autumn 2005) MA in Literary Translation Tutor: Professor Janet Garton This seminar looks at ways in which specific authors/works pass into other cultures through translation. This year's set of case studies will involve close textual study of a range of different texts to examine how translators have tackled problems of linguistic and cultural difference. The source texts will be taken from a variety of languages including French, German, and Norwegian; the emphasis, however, will be on renderings into English, and it is not necessary to be familiar with any of the source languages in order to participate in the seminar. Photocopies of central texts will be provided. There will be two or three sessions where participants will be given the opportunity to produce and compare their own translations of texts into or from English. It would be useful preparation to read some women's writing, drama and children's literature in your native language before the seminar. The week-by-week plan is as follows: Week 1 : Introductory week.

Extractions: Despite what seems like an over abundance of games designed for a mature audience, M rated games still take a back seat to what kids play. Video Gaming as an industry is still driven by the 12 and under crowd. With Spring Breaks happening all across Canada this month, and parents looking to give their kids something to do, we decided to steer you into buying your little ones a video game that doesn't promote excessive violence. Now it's no surprise how huge of an industry gaming has become in Canada, so listing stats which prove it could seem a bit obvious. Christmas time is a prime example of the popularity of gaming as it has replaced the two main forms of entertainment, movies and music, among Canadians. If the stats gathered concerning video games are correct, that facet of entertainment is probably a big part of your kids life and by extension your life. According to ESA (US), Ninety-two per cent of parents surveyed who have children under the age of 18 say they monitor the content of the interactive games their children play. So we know youre watching the question is, do you know what the heck is going on? It can be difficult for parents when trying to decide what to do when it comes to video games. What games do you buy? Should I worry about content? Are my kids actually going to like games designed for their age group? Should I even attempt to buy a game my kid hasnt mentioned or bothered me about for 3 months?
