From the Dairyman's Daughter to Worrals of the WAAF: The Religious Tract Society, Lutterworth Press and Children's Literature, edited by Dennis Butts and Pat Garrett, is a collection of essays detailing the history and influence of the Religious Tract Society (RTS), and of the associated Lutterworth Press, in connection to the development and history of children's literature. For that reason, this book, produced by the Lutterworth Press, with which it is in part concerned, is an extremely valuable contribution to the area of academic children's literature studies. This is particularly the case concerning the publishing history of Britain during the hundred or so years that saw the so-called Golden Age of children's books the books from this period have become the canon of classic children's literature. In any study concerning children's literature, the history and role of publishing houses and corporations play a significant part.
