Julia Donaldson's Paper Chase | Children's Literature Criticism: History of the Book & Discourse Networks

Julia Donaldson is one of the biggest names in children's literature, but her work with illustrator Victoria Sandøy--shall we call it The Tree Trilogy?--has gone largely unnoticed in the U.S. But who doesn't want a children's book filled with specialist knowledge about industrial paper making practices of the 20 and 21C? Adalyn is all about it!Join us for our discussion on PAPER CHASE. I'll bring to bear some of the frankly frightening amount of knowledge I have around the history of paper and its ability to form discourse networks. And just like a real college English class, you can show up in your pajamas! Give it a listen, and if you like what you hear, give us a follow and review! ---Visit us at http://www.toddlingthestacks.com for previous episodes, info on the show, and what Adalyn is reading now! If you like the episode, please subscribe and share with friends!YT: https://www.youtube.com/@ToddlingTheStacksInsta: https://www.instagram.com/toddlingthestacks/BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/toddlingthestacks.comFB: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61588725012180Show graphics by Emily Tetrault.
