Sticks and Stones: The Troublesome Success of Children's Literature from Slovenly Peter to Harry Potter

by Professor Jack Zipes

About this title: Noted translator and scholar of the Brothers Grimm, author Zipes turns the prevailing assumptions about children's literature into grist for a sure-to-be-controversial thesis. Zipes contend that most books for children, from 19th-century moral tales to Harry Potter, inhibit, rather than cultivate, a child's creativity and intelligence.

Note: This is a general synopsis. Each listing is further described below.
