The 100 Best Children's Books is an invaluable guide for parents and young readers in search of the creme de la creeme of children's fiction. The selection, made by eminent critic and writer, Brian Alderson, is arranged chronologically, beginning with The Pilgrim's Progress - which is still told to children in one form or another. The reader is then taken through a mini- history of the most outstanding stories whose words have appealed to the child's imagination. The selection ends with J. K. Rowling.
