Post and discuss only the greatest children's book authors and their works. Hardmode: no Dahl, Carroll or Seuss.
Chesterton, G. K. Essentially a writer for very young people. Romantic in the large sense.Conan Doyle, Arthur. Essentially a writer for very young people. Romantic in the large sense.Conrad, Joseph. Essentially a writer for very young people. Certainly inferior to Hemingway and Wells. Intolerable souvenir-shop style, romanticist clichés. Nothing I would care to have written myself. In mentality and emotion, hopelessly juvenile. Romantic in the large sense. Slightly bogus.Kipling, Rudyard. Essentially a writer for very young people. Romantic in the large sense.War and Peace. A little too long. A rollicking historical novel written for the general reader, specifically for the young. Artistically unsatisfying. Cumbersome messages, didactic interludes, artificial coincidences. Uncritical of its historical sources.Wilde, Oscar. Rank moralist and didacticist. Essentially a writer for very young people. Romantic in the large sense.
