Research Guides and Indexes

indicates an Internet resource that in my opinion is particularly valuable.

Children's Literature: A Guide to Criticism, by Linnea Hendrickson: A thorough annotated bibliography of significant articles, books, and dissertations relating to children's literature criticism. Originally published by G.K. Hall/Macmillan, 1987; now available (and searchable) online. Although most of the articles cited here were originally published in 1985 or earlier, this is an indispensible resource for the scholar and serious student of Children's Literature.
