| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Children's Literature of modern times began in the 16th century, with books about Robin Hood and the birth of fairy tales. The introduction of picture books made specifically for children also occurred in the past 500 years. This book looks at the roots of Children's Literature, specifically the start of fairy tales and picture books, and the influence of those historic stories on the literature of today. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
