Children's Fantasy Literature: An Introduction is a 2016 book by American author Michael Levy and British author Farah Mendlesohn. It is the only work to trace the history of children's fantasy over a period of 500 years. Events covered in the book include the collection of folk tales in the 16th century, the impact of world wars on British fantasy and the American response, and the emergence of modern children's and young adult fantasy. The book was well-received by critics: The Times Literary Supplement regarded it as "magisterial", while children's literature journals termed it a foundational text for its field. Praise was directed at how the authors traced the evolution of the genre in response to real-world events. The large number of works discussed drew some debate: one critic felt the presentation could be improved, while another found it stimulating. Children's Fantasy Literature won the 2017 World Fantasy Award for Professional Work and the 2018 Mythopoeic Scholarship Award. (en) |
