Checked out because it's written by Laski (a favorite Persephone author) and includes some tidbits about Frances Hodgson Burnett.
I only read the intro, conclusion and section on Burnett as I had no interest in the other two women.
Written in 1950, Laski is looking back at the golden age of children's literature. A few interesting conclusions, but I was hoping for a bit more biography and less critical analysis. Or perhaps some more linking between the three authors in the analysis.
Not bad, but not great.
