Publisher's Synopsis

Focuses on the child as the audience for books in the English language. This book shows how certain creative talents, driven by a sense of purpose, or a wish to make some money, attempted to appeal directly to children, and how the publishing industry came to realise that this audience might constitute a profitable market.
