Talking In the Wind

We're past the halfway point of the VC residency.

Today's highlight is a discussion of the History of Children's Literature by Lynne Vallone, co-associate editor of the Norton Anthology of Children's Literature. So far it has focussed primarily on didacticism, especially with regard to works targeted to girl readers.

Kelly Bennett (author interview), has given me a fan from Indonesia, and now I must learn the language of it.

Related to the off-campus world, congratulations to Writefest alumnae Katie Davis!
