Don't Tell the Grown-Ups

In Don't Tell The Grown Ups, one of our wittiest and most cultural commentators explores the world of children's literature-from Lewis Carroll to Dr. Seuss, from classic fairy tales to A.A. Milne, from Beatrix Potter to J.R.R. Tolkien-and shows that many of the enduring books for children share a surprising quality: they challenge rather than uphold respectable adults values. 234 pages.
