Book Synopsis Children of the Series and how They Grew, Or, A Century of Heroines and Heroes, Romantic, Comic, Moral by : Faye Riter Kensinger
Book excerpt: Children's series fiction comprises tales incorporating innocence and hard reality along with romance, wit, and character. Heavy streaks of morality diminished as the entertainment element increased. Heroes performed in a wide range of adventures, but restrictions often kept heroines close to home. Series fiction peaked, then waned, but such writers as Beverly Cleary and Madeleine L'Engle carried on the style.
