Spine is faded cloth has overall rubbing and soiling. Previous owners neat inscription inside front cover. Scattered foxing throughout. Still a charming copy. Arnaud Berquin September 1747 in Bordeaux - 21 December 1791 was a French children's author. His most famous work was L'Ami des Enfants 1782-1783 which was first translated into English in 1783-1784.<br /> <br /> The work remained popular until the middle of the nineteenth century. Berquin's stories consisted of events that might happen to children in their everyday lives-they did not contain fairy tales or other imaginative literature. His books envision childhood reading as a familial exercise; for example some of his "stories" are actually plays with parts for every member of the family. Berquin's books helped solidify the creation of the nuclear family for "if Berquin's work has a theme it is that parents and children live in a perfect symbiosis the parents looking after their children's interests and the children if behaving properly filling their parents with joy.

The author Berquin 1747-1791 specialized very early in children's literature being indeed the first to have done so. His children's books enjoyed great popularity and were very frequently reprinted throughout the nineteenth century. English and German children of the late eighteenth century knew Berquin's work very well. The greater part of l'ami des enfants consists of short theatrical pieces historical moral childish. but one also finds numerous short tales and romances letters as well as a shipwreck narrative. Thus one counts in the general table of contents 106 entries. L'ami de l'adolescence also contains moral theatrical pieces and other pieces more narrative or more clearly pedagogical; one should note La relation d'un naufrage sur l'île Royale and le Système du monde mis à la portée de cet âge. Certain works are entirely devoted to instruction and pedagogy such as L'introduction à la connaissance de la nature notably through animal figures or the Entretiens sur les connaissances. Moreover it is not that Berquin was the first to extend this literature that is important it is rather that one can situate at this period the introduction of childhood into our cultures and Berquin is precisely an eloquent testimony to this. Furthermore it was undoubtedly among the first times that one found so many children represented in illustration. Renouard hardcover
