About this Event

Date: 2-4 May 2024

Location: University of Rouen Normandy

Inaugurated in 2004 as an interdisciplinary postgraduate-run conference, The Child and the Book has since gathered scholars and students focusing on children’s and young adult literature and culture, who exchange experiences, insights, and knowledge in this field. It has annually attracted delegates from all round the world and offers a unique opportunity for postgraduate students to present and discuss their work, in company with established scholars. 

This year’s theme is “Making, Building, Mending: Creativity & Craftsmanship in Children’s Literature & Culture”. Join me (Linh) for my presentation "To Heal Our Ailing Kingdoms: Making Portals in The Colours of Madeleine and His Dark Materials" on Saturday, 4 May 2024.
