      abstract = {This book features a cutting edge approach to the study of  film adaptations of literature for children and young  people, and the narratives about childhood those  adaptations enact. Historically, film media has always had  a partiality for the adaptation of ?classic? literary texts  for children. As economic and cultural commodities,  McCallum points out how such screen adaptations play a  crucial role in the cultural reproduction and  transformation of childhood and youth, and indeed are a  rich resource for the examination of changing cultural  values and ideologies, particularly around contested  narratives of childhood. The chapters examine various  representations of childhood: as shifting states of  innocence and wildness, liminality, marginalisation and  invisibility. The book focuses on a range of literary and  film genres, from ?classic? texts, to experimental,  carnivalesque, magical realist, and cross-cultural texts.  .},
