Charles Madison Curry’s Children’s Literature is a substantial textbook compiled for educators and teacher-training programmes, gathering primary sources, critical essays, and anthologised stories to help teachers understand and teach the best in children’s books. It surveys fairy tales, fables, myths, and classic stories with scholarly but accessible commentary.
Originally published in the early twentieth century, this volume remains a fascinating window into how the study of children’s literature was formalised as a discipline. Parents, teachers, and anyone interested in the history of books for young readers will find it genuinely illuminating. Download the free EPUB to explore this foundational resource.
