Don't tell the grown-ups : subversive children's literature

Lurie, Alison, 1926-1990
Books, Manuscripts
In this witty collection of essays, Alison Lurie considers authors such as A.A.Milne, E.Nesbit, Frances Hodgson Burnett, Lewis Carroll and J.R.R.Tolkien, and demonstrates that their enduring quality lies partly in the way they satirize adult society and speak with subversive directness to children.
