Children's Literature

[poliphilo]

Ailz is about to start her first essay for her new course with the OU- which is why she has spent much of the morning trying to compile a list of people's birthdays: anything to avoid that first chilling confrontation with an empty screen.

It's a course on children's literature. I'm reading the texts too- so I can offer up relevant pillow-talk.

Ailz (and you!) might enjoy 'Not in front of the grownups' by Alison Laurie

It's a great collection of essays about well known children's authors, giving an alternative take on how beautifully subversive many of them were.

That looks good. Thanks for the tip.
