Just terrific!
As a parent exploring children's books and literature these lectures have been wonderful for me. Giving me a greater understanding of how children's books are created, what to look for and be aware of when selecting books for my kids. Thank you David for these!
Very good companion to Mr. Beagley's other lecture courses
I very much enjoyed Mr. Beagley's way of tying aspects of history into his discussion of genres. This was the first time someone has presented the difference between Modernism and Post-Modernism in a way that was clear to me. Personally I felt I learned more from his "History of Children's Literature" because its broad application across the development of story as a whole.
Love the material covered!
I love these types of discussions. It's my favorite genre of literature and when colleges delve into serious discussions such as these I am enthralled. It helps to offer validity to the genre as being part of the literary canon.
