The Oxford Book of Children's Stories

by Jan Mark and Cleo Qian

Book Overview

Here are some of the very best short stories written for children over the last 250 years. Compiled by the well-known children's writer and Carnegie Medalist, Jan Mark, this is the first anthology to trace how children's short stories evolved, ranging from the publication of Sarah Fielding's "The Governess" in 1749, to Nadia Wheatley's "Convict Box" in 1992.
Anyone who enjoys children's fiction, whether young or old, will find something to savor...
