Ключ к эстонской детской и юношеской литературе. XIX-XXI вв

Bibliographic reference book.

This publication is a unique project of its kind, the implementation of which began in 2007. For the first time, Estonian children's literature is presented in a professional reference book in separate sections about the creators of the book - writers, poets, translators, artists, playwrights (560 personalities) and about works of various genres (more than 2350). The reader will find in it review articles on some key topics for the history of Estonian literature (Fiction, Primer, Educational Literature for Children and Youth, etc.). The guide is provided with a number of appendices about the winners of awards in the field of children's literature. The color application of the covers of children's book editions by Estonian authors (over 130) will allow you to visualize the variety of artistic styles and design genres. The publication is accompanied by a unique reference and bibliographic apparatus: an index of author's works (in Estonian and Russian), an index of the names of illustrators, an index of writers' pseudonyms. For the first time in A. Jaaksoo's monograph, an Estonian children's book has been studied so deeply in time spanning the 19th-21st centuries. The publication is addressed to specialists in the field of children's literature and a wide range of readers.
