Sommario/riassunto

This book is intended to broaden the public debate about the role of popular media in children's lives. Its definition of 'media' is wide-ranging: not just television and the internet, but also still-popular



forms such as fairy tales, children's literature - including the triumphantly successful Harry Potter series - and playground games.
