Brought together here for the first time, the Woodfield Lectures are an annual exploration of the fascinating relationship between children and their books. Each of the contributors to the volume holds a unique position in the development of modern children's literature: as such, the book is a distillation of their experiences working in the field of literature and library services for young people, and makes stimulating reading for anyone wishing to share the insights of others in this highly diverse field.
