Abstract:

Children's literature shapes what children learn about the world. It
reflects social values, norms, and stereotypes. This book offers fresh
insights into some of the key issues in fiction for children, from the
representation of gender to embodied cognition and the translation of
children's literature.

Connecting classic children's texts such as Alice in Wonderland with
contemporary fiction including Murder Most Unladylike, the book
innovatively brings together perspectives from corpus linguistics,
stylistics, cognitive linguistics, literary and cultural studies, and
human geography. It explores approaches to experiencing fiction, as
well as methods for the study of literary texts. Childhood discourses
are investigated through the materiality of texts, the spaces that
literature takes up in libraries, the cultural history of fiction
moulded through performances, as well as reading environments that
shape childhood experiences, such as fashion and urban spaces.

Children's Literature and Childhood Discourses emphasizes the crucial
link between fictional stories and real life.
