Minders of Make-Believe: Idealists, Entrepreneurs, and the Shaping of American Children's Literature by Leonard S. Marcus

1.0

This was a textbook for a graduate class, and I hated it. Not only is the writing so-so, the drudgery with which the facts are portrayed makes an interesting history seem incredibly boring. Additionally, he bounces back and forth in time so much that it’s hard to keep track of when things occurred. The chapters are linear, but within them, the events are not placed in sequential order. Such a frustrating read.
