Editor's Note:
This collection of papers represents presentations given at the annual conference of the British branch of the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY UK) and the MA course at the National Centre for Research in Children's Literature (NCRCL) at Roehampton University in November 2010. Its title, Conflicts and Controversies, reflects the breadth of discussion in which students of children's literature engage, and the papers themselves reveal that there is a long and involved history of controversy and conflict both within and about books for young people. Individual papers from authors, publishers and scholars examine that history, but also consider what makes a book controversial, particularly in the opinion of adults, and how writers through the centuries have portrayed conflict - social, personal and political - to draw the attention of young readers to the often perplexing and uncomfortable realities of life.

Indulge in the ultimate literary experience. We've refined the way you discover and access Conflicts and Controversies: Challenging Children's Literature by Bridget Carrington. Crafted for the discerning reader.
