"Germany has had a profound influence on English stories for children. The Brothers Grimm, The Swiss Family Robinson and Johanna Spyri's Heidi quickly became classics but, as David Blamires clearly articulates in this volume, many other works have been fundamental in the development of English children's stories during the 19th century and beyond. Telling Tales is the first comprehensive study of the impact of Germany on English children's books, covering the period from 1780 to the First World War. Beginning with The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, moving through the classics and including many other collections of fairytales and legends, it covers a wealth of translated and adapted material."--Publisher's description.

The volume is a collection of the papers from a study seminar held at the University of Florence Faculty of Education and Training Sciences in March 2012 entitled Formazione e orientamento al lavoro. Le sfide della disabilità adulta. The aim of the initiative was to highlight a topic/problem which has little or no resonance in civil society, or in study and research contexts, namely, training and career guidance for disabled adults. The volume also recounts a course of studies carried out by Le Rose, a cooperative from the municipality of Florence, involving empirical research on the relationship between disability and job placement. As well as proposing an interdisciplinary and multifaceted reflection on a definitely innovative topic, the intention is to emphasize the central place of work in the lives of all people and the role that suitable education and training plays in constructing the adult identity. Care for the place where the job training is carried out, as well as attention to the relationships and actions pursued by the workers undertaking to develop job placement programmes, are central dimensions for the construction of a renewed culture of inclusion, citizenship and social and personal recognition.

Les écrivains pour la jeunesse sont-ils des auteurs à part entière, ainsi que certains d'entre eux le réclament publiquement ? Près de quarante-cinq ans après les déclarations de R. Barthes sur « la mort de l'auteur », une telle revendication trouve, bien sûr, son origine dans le décalage entre la légitimité encore fluctuante de ce secteur de l'édition et son dynamisme reconnu. Mais l'affirmation naît peut-être aussi d'un retour progressif de l'auteur dans la réflexion théorique et critique, ou bien encore de sa présence diversifiée dans les pratiques scolaires de lecture de la littérature. S'interrogeant sur la situation complexe d'aujourd'hui, les quinze contributeurs de l'ouvrage questionnent la notion d'auteur pour la jeunesse dans différentes directions, à partir des approches variées qui ont construit la réflexion sur l'auctorialité. Pour ce faire, ils mettent en pleine lumière romans et albums, de C. Grenier, S. Morgenstern, B. Poncelet, G. Lemoine, Sara et quelques autres contemporains. Pour esquisser une mise en perspective historique, ils se tournent aussi du côté d'Homère, P.-J. Hetzel, P. Berna, ainsi que des très récents N. Schneegans et D. Pennac. De l'édition à l'école, certaines pratiques actuelles sont ainsi sondées avec précision. Même si elle ne paraît pas appelée à prendre la première place, au détriment des autres instances de la littérature, il semble bien que la notion d'auteur pour la jeunesse présente un intérêt certain dans les activités de lecture littéraire. L'ouvrage suggère ainsi une clarification des rôles que l'on peut faire jouer à cette figure de premier plan.

Classical Antiquity is strongly present in youth culture globally. It accompanies children during their initiation into adulthood and thereby deepens their knowledge of the cultural code based on the Greek and Roman heritage. It enables intergenerational communication, with the reception of the Classics being able to serve as a marker of transformations underway in societies the world over. The team of contributors from Europe, North America, Africa, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand focuses on the reception of mythical creatures as the key to these transformations, including the changes in human mentality. The volume gathers the results of a stage of the programme 'Our Mythical Childhood', supported by an Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Alumni Award for Innovative Networking Initiatives and an ERC Consolidator Grant. Thanks to the multidisciplinary character of its research (Classics, Modern Philologies, Animal Studies) and to the universal importance of the theme of childhood, the volume offers stimulating reading for scholars, students, and educators, as well as for a wider audience.
