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

4.0

Everything you'd ever want to know about children's books in America from colonial days to the present. I wish some more recent developments in YA fiction could have been included, as well as pictures. Nonetheless, it's a meticulously researched overview of the history of children's literature. A must-read (or at least must-browse) for librarians and lovers of children's lit.
