"Vice Versa": The First Subversive Novel for Children.
Tucker, Nicholas
Children's Literature in Education, v18 n3 p139-47 Fall 1987
Notes that F.H. Anstey's children's novel "Vice Versa" is unusual for its day (1882) because it attacks Victorian fathers and insensitive boarding school teachers, and points out how cruel children can be to one another when maintaining their own power structures. (JC)
