Description - Dictionary of British Children's Fiction [2 volumes] by Alethea K. Helbig
Written for librarians, teachers and researchers who deal with children's literature, this volume offers coverage of nearly 400 British books for young people published from 1678 to the present. Books chosen for inclusion were drawn from those that have won recognized awards for literary merit or have been on lists citing works that should be part of any representative children's book collection. For each, the authors provide entries for authors, titles, characters, memorable settings, significant movements and literary terminology. The dictionary section inlcudes four types of entries: title, author, character and miscellaneous or additional data. Every book has title and author entries; additional information is presented in character and miscellaneous entries where necessary. Author entries provide basic biographical data, focusing particularly on what in the author's life is most relevant to children's literature. Title entries include bibliographic information, a brief plot summary, sub-genre, setting, a critical evaluation and any awards and citations. An index enables the reader to locate books by period, topic, theme and characters' names, as well as by author and title.
