Children's Fantasy Literature: Toward an Anatomy.
Gooderham, David
Children's Literature in Education, v26 n3 p171-83 Sep 1995
States that finding a critical language in which to speak about children's fantasy texts is not as straightforward as might first appear. Discusses ideas held by T. Todorov and J.R.R. Tolkien. Argues that fantasy is a metaphorical mode, and details an anatomy of children's fantasy. Concludes that children's fantasy can be described as a body of texts. (PA)
