To mark the occasion of Bologna Children's Book Fair's Fiftieth Anniversary, a look back over its history, but, more generally, a look at how children's books have developed over the last fifty years since the beginning of the Fair. Children's literature scholars from all parts of the world stepped out enthusiastically to outline the history and state-of-the-art of books for children in their part of the world. The result is a fascinating overview showing interesting differences due to political social, and cultural features in the way children's books have taken hold, sometimes slowly, sometimes explosively. The essays provide stimulating insights into how children's books are themselves a child of their times, impacted by ideology, the dominant culture or countercultures of their day.

Abstract
To mark the occasion of Bologna Children's Book Fair's Fiftieth Anniversary, a look back over its history, but, more generally, a look at how children's books have developed over the last fifty years since the beginning of the Fair. Children's literature scholars from all parts of the world stepped out enthusiastically to outline the history and state-of-the-art of books for children in their part of the world. The result is a fascinating overview showing interesting differences due to political social, and cultural features in the way children's books have taken hold, sometimes slowly, sometimes explosively. The essays provide stimulating insights into how children's books are themselves a child of their times, impacted by ideology, the dominant culture or countercultures of their day.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
