Twice-told Childrens Tales (Children's Literature and Culture) Book

Writers, as they often attest, are deeply influenced by their childhood reading. Salman Rushdie, for example, has said that "The Wizard of Oz" "made a writer of me." "Twice-Told Tales" is a collection of essays on the way the works of adult writers have been influenced by their childhood reading. This fascinating volume includes theoretical essays on Salman Rushdie and the "Oz" books, "Beauty and the Beast" retold as "Jane Eyre", the childhood reading of Jorge Luis Borges, and the remnants of nursery rhymes in Sylvia Plath's poetry. It is supplemented with a number of brief commentaries on children's books by major creative writers, including Maxine Hong Kingston and Maxine Kumin.Read More
