Literature 518:  The History of Children's Literature

 

I have not taught this class since I shifted from the main frame to a PC.  I have just finished teaching the spring term, and I need a break.  I have selected the texts for Lit 518 and will have a Course-pack 1 ready in a week or so.  The course-pack and the books will be at Mike's Book Store (behind the Water Tower) early next week.  There is no need to use the same editions I have ordered, but it may make life easier.

I probably will NOT have Course-packs 2 and 3 ready until late August, but check here just in case!!!
