Demers, P. ; Moyles, R.G. From Instruction to Delight : An Anthology of Children's Literature to 1850. Oxford University Press, Toronto, first edition, 1982.
From the blurb: "Although children's literature has been a part of Western culture for hundreds of years, the modern student of the subject has all too frequently been left with the impression that the late-nineteenth-century classics of Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear and others were preceded by little else besides fairy tales. Teachers wishing to correct this impression have been forced to fill in the historical picture at second hand, for there has been no readily available book offering a concise yet comprehensive survey, with examples, of early children's literature. Now that need has been filled: From Instruction to Delight allows the reader to experience and enjoy at first hand some of the wealth of poetry and prose read by and to children from medieval times to the mid-nineteenth century. From the earliest colloquies, through the period of hornbooks and battledores, the 'hellfire tales' of the Puritans and the era of chapbooks and penny histories, to the eighteenth-century rational moralists, and finally to an era in which delight was openly acknowledged as a worthy object, this anthology covers the central developments in the history of the genre. Some of the selections (such as "Mary's Lamb" and "A Visit from Saint Nicholas") will be familiar to every reader, though their source may not be; many others are much less well known and with this book will be made readily accessible for the first time. The editors provide informative introductions to each section as well as brief notes on the selections so that they may be read and understood in their historical context. From Instruction to Delight is copiously illustrated, and there is a useful bibliography."

"First published in 1965, this charming tale of one family's journey to search out the scenes of many favourite British children's books is now back to delight a new generation" "First published in 1965, this charming tale of one family's journey to search out the scenes of many favourite British children's books is now back to delight a new generation" Over forty years ago, Joan Bodger, her husband, and two children went to Britain on a very special family quest. They were seeking the world that they knew and loved through children's books.In Winnie-the-Pooh Country, Mrs. Milne showed them the way to that enchanted place on the top of the Forest [where] a little boy and his Bear will always be playing. In Edinburgh they stood outside Robert Louis Stevenson's childhood home, tilting their heads to talk to a lamplighter who was doing his job. In the Lake District they visited Jemima Puddle-Duck's farm, and Joan sought out crusty Arthur Ransome to talk to him about Swallows and Amazons. They spent several days messing about in boats on the River Thames, looking for Toad Hall and other places described by Kenneth Grahame in The Wind in the Willows. Mud and flood kept them from attaining the slopes of Pook's Hill (on Rudyard Kipling's farm), but they scaled the heights of Tintagel. As in all good fairy tales, there were unanswered questions. Did they really find Camelot? Robin Hood, as always, remains elusive.One thing is certain. Joan Bodger brings alive again the magic of the stories we love to remember. She persuades us that, like Emily Dickinson, even if we have never seen a moor, we can imagine how the heather looks.First published in 1965 by Viking in New York, How the Heather Looks has become a prized favorite among knowledgeable lovers of children's literature. Precious, well-thumbed copies have been lent out with caution and reluctance, while new admirers have gone searching in vain for copies to buy second-hand. This handsome reprint, with a new Afterword by Joan Bodger, makes a unique and delightful classic available once more. 249p 2nd.ed. New Hard Cover; 2nd.ed.
