Here is a book which discusses children's books - their present and their past - with pleasure and with gusto. Written by an eminent French scholar, well known in this county also, the book has the spirit of the happy traveller rather than that of the study. When Prof. Hazard discusses national traits in relation to children's books, he writes of countries which he has visited and of whose literature he has first-hand knowledge. The result is an essential and a rewarding book for all professional workers with children's books; and it is a stimulating, revealing and delightful volume for all others interested in books, in children, or both.
