I, too, want to thank Leonard and the rest of the ccbc-net community for this fascinating discussion. Leonard has been magnificently generous with his time and his store of knowledge. We are so lucky the children's literature, publishing and librarianship captured his interest back in his undergraduate days!
That makes me wonder what books might have been formative for you, Leonard. What did you read as a child and what was read to you? Who were your
"minders of make-believe"? Parents? Teachers? Librarians? Peers?
Also, in response to Hollis, I'd like to mention that when I was in library school (U. of Chicago, mid-70's) we certainly studied the history of children's literature and of public libraries. Maybe all that got tossed out as new technologies gained ascendancy and course requirements changed. Then, too, the speciality in children's service seemed to have been dropped by many library schools for quite a while. My impression is that it has been revived in some places. Does anyone know if that's true?
And, in a related question, do education students generally study the history of education?
