Icelandic Children's Books 1780-1979. By Silja Aðalsteinsdóttir.
This book is based on lectures given by the author at the University of Iceland over the past few semesters, but much of the material has been prepared specifically for this publication.
The book begins with a brief overview of the beginnings and development of children's books in Western Europe, but then turns to Icelandic children's books and their history and characteristics are traced from the beginning to the end of 1979. This main part of the book is divided into chapters according to periods and literary genres, and a detailed description of the number of children's books is given. The book is adorned with many illustrations. There are indexes both at the end of each chapter and at the end of the book, and they cover all Icelandic children's book authors and their published works up to 1980. (Cover text).
