description: Ranging from Daniel Defoe to Siobhán Parkinson, from Shakespeare to Enid Blyton, this collection of essays takes the reader on a fascinating voyage to the Treasure Islands of children’s literature. Picture books, myths, movies, newspaper columns and boys’ periodicals all come under scrutiny, and the critical journey travels to Australia, America and Scotland, as well as to the more familiar islands of English and Irish stories.
