Prof. Seth Lerer's latest book, Children's Literature: A Reader's History from Aesop to Harry Potter

“Every page of Seth Lerer’s brilliant book reminds us of the supreme and enduring value of childhood reading. This volume deserves the attention of all who care about the shaping of lives—educators on all levels, policy makers, psychologists, and parents as well as scholars. Lerer writes that children’s literature is meant docere et delectare (to instruct and to delight), and this is precisely what he himself had done in this fascinating book.”
