Children's Literature
A Textbook of Sources for Teachers and Teacher-Training Classes
Children's Literature, published in 1920 by Charles Madison Curry and Erle Elsworth Clippinger of the Indiana State Normal School, is a textbook of sources for teachers in training, and it is also a large anthology. Its sections give nursery rhymes, fables, folktales and fairy tales from many lands, myths and legends, Bible stories, poems grouped for younger and older children, stories of adventure and of history, and a home reading list graded by school year. Each section opens with an introduction and a bibliography, and the texts chosen are the ones that generations of American schoolchildren met first: Aesop, Grimm, Perrault, Andersen, the Norse and Greek myths, Robin Hood, and poems by Stevenson, Rossetti, Longfellow and Field. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, with the first chapter free.
