Children's Books and Reading

What children have read, from the horn-book and the chapbook to Alice and Andrew Lang, and what publishers and teachers did to the supply. Montrose Moses was a drama critic who wrote this survey in 1907 out of his own collection. He is very good on the American reprint trade and unusually honest about the books he was told to admire. Sixty paintings of children at home and at play, from Jan Steen to Mary Cassatt, give the story of young readers a face.
