Description
Book SynopsisExamines over thirty of Mollie Hunter's fantasies, historical novels, realistic novels of modern life, and nonfiction essays on writing for children. In this book, Greenway offers the first full-length study of the works of Mollie Hunter.
Trade Review...a valuable study of a popular and prolific Scottish author, whose novels 'had their origins in real stories told to real children'...is particularly good on the ground-breaking and painfully autobiographical A Sound of Chariots. * School Librarian *
...a superbly written and impeccably researched scholarly introduction..This volume is worth reading simply for the pleasures of Greenway's prose, which puts much academic writing to shame..Scholars of Celtic Studies, children's literature, fantasy literature, historical fiction, and the contemporary novel will find enrichment and enlightenment here. * Children's Literature Association Quarterly *
Greenway's study is likely to interest children's literature specialists more than fantasy scholars, and is recommended mostly for larger public libraries and academic libraries supporting courses in children's literature. * Sfra Review *
