Description: The Grolier Club exhibition One Hundred Books Famous in Children’s Literature showcases one hundred books of this caliber, printed from 1600 to 2000. Some of the beloved books on view are Robinson Crusoe, Grimms’ Fairy Tales, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Tom Sawyer, Treasure Island, Peter Rabbit, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Peter and Wendy, Winnie-the-Pooh, Charlotte’s Web, The Cat in the Hat, Where the Wild Things Are, and Harry Potter. These classics and others – many famous today, some only in their time – will delight adults and children alike. The books are organized according to key themes in children’s literature: Fairy Tales & Fables, Faith, Learning, Nursery Rhymes, Poetry, Girls & Boys, Animals, Fantasy, Adventure, Novelties, and Toys. This organization allows viewers to see genres of literature for children ranging from early forms of instructional and devotional primers to exuberant expressions of rhymes, tales, stories, novels, and picture books. First or early editions are displayed wherever possible, some of them extremely rare. Selected by the curator, children’s book authority Chris Loker, with advice from an international team of children’s book scholars and experts, the books in the exhibition are those deemed famous because they were widely known at the time of their creation, and admired over following generations – in the process demonstrating literary merit and unparalleled popularity.
