Judith mentioned her forthcoming article in Horn Book on Australian children?s literature?I am really looking forward to that. Does anybody have any other good suggestions for follow up readings?
Rhonda Bunbury has a nice historical overview of the field in Peter Hunt?s International Companion Encyclopedia of Children's Literature
(1996) ?I hope that?s right; all my resources are stacked in the basement for remodeling right now.
Anne Hanzl did a similar fine (updated) piece in The Continuum Encyclopedia of Children's Literature (Cullinan and Person, 2001).
Anne also has an excellent review in this month?s issue of Magpies of Maurice Saxby?s new book, Images of Australia: A History of Australian Children?s Literature 194170. As Anne says, Saxby is our ?elder statesman,? whose seminal works some thirty years ago helped pave the way for a serious study of this field (A History of Australian Children?s Literature 184141, published in 1969; and A History of Australian Children?s Literature 194170, published in 1971). In recent years he has revisited his earlier studies, and his Images of Australia is a major rewrite based on much additional material that has since become available. In these volumes you will find rich details of those grand authors of the 40s`s that Linnea remembers so fondly, the talented pioneers who provided the foundation on which our glorious
?golden age? of children?s literature flourished.
On a vastly more humble scale, I had a modest article in The Reading Teacher some time ago (Vol. 46. No. 2, Oct. 1992). Pitched more at classroom teachers and librarians, and titled ?Dreamtime Downunder: Exploring Children?s Books?, this reviewed Australian books primarily published in the preceding five years.
I hope some other folks can add a few more useful sources before we close out this month?s discussion, which I have enjoyed immensely. Thanks to all who have contributed such interesting perspectives.
