The stories we read as children extend far beyond our childhoods; they are a window into our deepest hopes, joys and anxieties. They reveal our past - collective and individual, remembered and imagined - and invite us to dream up different futures. In a pioneering history of children’s literature, from the ancient world to the present day, the literary editor of The Spectator excavates the complex lives of beloved writers, and reveals the magic of our most cherished stories, and the ways in which they have shaped and consoled entire generations.
