Enchanted Hunters : The Power of Stories in Childhood

Maria Tatar explores the history of storytelling for children and the reasons why the books we read as children have such a profound and lasting impact.

While the book is admittedly more of an exploration than an explanation, it felt a bit loose in many places where I would have preferred more focus. That said, Tatar's close readings of Dr. Seuss, Alice in Wonderland, Goodnight Moon, and many other beloved children's stories are thought-provoking. Defintely a must-read for anyone who loves children's literature and the power of storytelling.
