Children’s Corner

Both as a historian and as a mom I am becoming increasingly interested in all kinds of themes from the history of childhood and youth as well as in children’s literature and culture more generally. In this section, I am collecting information about different European children’s literatures, discussions of all kinds of themes from past and present discourses about childhood and play or education etc. as well as travel guides for families with (small) children.
