Featured Exhibit: Children's Literature Collection
Love it or hate it — or, display some more middle-way attitude if it pleases you — popular fiction plays an important role in society. The Brandeis Collection of Children's Literature contains examples of the genre that date from the fin-de-siècle to the Eisenhower administration. Only four authors get detailed mention on this site, but the collection is much more extensive, including books from Henry Castelmon's "The Sportsman's Club" series, the "X Bar X Boys," "MacGuffey's Reader" and Ainsworth Magazine, among others.
