Don’t Tell the GROWN-UPS : Subversive Children’s Literature

‘Winnie the Pooh’ isn’t usually thought of as being subversive, nor are ‘The Enchanted Castle’, ‘The Secret Garden’, ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’, or ‘Peter Pan’. Yet these ‘safe’ classics endure partly because they satirise conventional adult society and speak with dangerous directness to a young reader’s imagination . . . In this witty and engaging collection of essays, Alison Lurie entices us back to that half-forgotten world. First edition pp. xv, 229 #151215
