Description
"Margaret Meek and Victor Watson provide an examination of the treatment of personal development, maturation and rites of passage in literature written for children and adolescents. Including a broad survey of the theme across a number of genres and an in-depth analysis of the work of key writers, the authors work towards an answer to the question: 'What is a classic?'"--Jacket.
