I am prejudiced about the children's literature scholar, Kimberley Reynolds, therefore this book was dissapointing, because she wrote only the introduction (that, by the way, is the best part of the book!)The book consists of three essays - quite interesting - and a short bibliography. Scholarly written, therefore I rate it 4 stars. Thanks!
