Mr Saxby has systematically examined the complete range of fiction available to Australian children during the first hundred years of the nation's existence against the prevailing social and educational conditions and has determined the degree to which they met the defined needs and interests of children. It is the first comprehensive analysis of children's literature against a rigorous framework of human development conceived in terms of the more recent psychological findings of Maslow, Frank, Kaplan and others.
