Sommario/riassunto |
|
The Mythology of the Animal Farm in Children's Literature: Over the Fence analyzes the ways in which myths about farmed animals' lives are perpetuated in children's materials. Drawing on a diverse range of fields of inquiry, this book investigates the use of five recurring thematic devices in about eighty books for young children published during the past five decades. |
