Synopsis: [Back Cover] The author wrote that, "In our time, when the literature for adults is deteriorating, good books for children are the only hope, the only refuge. Many adults read and enjoy children's books. We write not only for children but also for their parents. They, too, are serious children...."

Also included are a brief introduction and an epilogue, 'Are Children the Ultimate Literary Critics?' "
