Lewis Carroll's Alice novels have a publishing history almost as magical and mysterious as the stories themselves. Zoe Jaques and Eugene Giddens offer a detailed account of the initial publication of the Alice books, investigating how their subsequent transformations through print, illustration, film, and song affected the reception of these childhood favourites and examining what they reveal about the history of print culture and shifting attitudes of and towards the child reader.

This Element traces the varied and magical history of Christmas publications for children. The Christmas book market has played an important role in the growth of children's literature, from well-loved classics to more ephemeral annuals and gift books. Starting with the eighteenth century and continuing to recent sales successes and picturebooks, Christmas Books for Children investigates continuities and new trends in this hugely significant part of the children's book market.
