Current Trends in Children's Literature: Loughborough, 5th–10th August 1968

Abstract

OVER SEVENTY children's librarians, teachers, publishers, writers and illustrators attended the first course organized by the School of Librarianship as part of the Loughborough College of Education annual summer school. The course was truly international in scope and much of the credit for its success must go to the way in which our visitors from the continent entered so enthusiastically into discussions, answered questions, delivered formal lectures which were both informative and entertaining, all in what was for them a foreign tongue. Their modest apologies for any gaps in their knowledge of the English language proved entirely unnecessary and put the native English‐speaking members of the audience to shame when they considered how badly they would have fared in a similar situation.
