Ireland/Youth literature/Anthology
Taking as motto for this anthology that »all good stories for children offer
the prospect of ‘enchanted journeys’, ...voyages of discovery«, Ireland’s
leading children’s literature expert, Robert Dunbar, has selected 17 authors
whose works represent the breadth and diversity of Irish children’s
literature. The volume contains excerpts from each story, arranged in
reverse chronological order, and range from Conlon-McKenna (1996)
back to Conor O’Brien (1941). Dunbar also provides a detailed
biographical sketch about each of the authors. (10+)
