E-Book Overview

(Not In Front of the Grown-ups)
1990 - 229 pages.
In sixteen spirited essays, Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Alison Lurie, who is also one of our wittiest and most astute cultural commentators, explores the world of children's literature-from Lewis Carroll to Dr. Seuss, Mark Twain to Beatrix Potter - and shows that the best-loved children's books tend to challenge rather than uphold respectable adult values.
