Writing, Retelling, and Critically Reading Children's and Young Adult Tales
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-89766-5 (ISBN)
This edited collection traces the evolution of writing, retelling, and critically reading children's and young adult tales over decades of cultural, social, and technological changes. Global contributions cover the increasingly diverse narratives found in children's literature, including how contemporary authors challenge traditional gender roles found in fairy tales through modern increasingly prevalent retellings. Chapters also consider the psychological impact of storytelling on children and how narratives can provide children with frameworks for understanding their emotions and experiences.
