About this product
Product Information
In this collection of fourteen essays, Anne Scott MacLeod locates and describes shifts in the American concept of childhood as those changes are suggested in nearly two centuries of children's stories. Most of the essays concern domestic novels for children or adolescents-stories set more or less in the time of their publication.

Exactly as described except the first 50 pages had been torn out. Good price if it had been a complete book. Prompt shipping. Seller promptly and without hesitation or having to return the book, refunded me in full. I will (and have) used again.
