| | Fictional Role of Childhood in Victorian and Early Twentiety Century Children's Literature (Mellen Studies in Children's Literature, V. 7)
Publication Date: May 2004| ISBN-10: 0773464514 | ISBN-13: 978-0773464513This book studies canonical children's literature during what is perceived to be the first Golden Age of this genre.
