Despite concerns about declining literacy, Dutch-language children’s and young adult literature enjoys considerable recognition both nationally and internationally. Enthusiasm among researchers to study this field is also growing, from a variety of perspectives and with attention to a wide range of themes. This book showcases that diversity. Rather than confining children’s literature to a single category, the authors deliberately look beyond boundaries. Central to the volume is the interaction between Dutch-language children’s and young adult literature and literatures in other languages, cultures of other countries, adult literature, the visual arts, theatre, and education.
