CLPE's
special book collections
 |
As well as its
large collection of books in print, the CLPE library has two
reference collections of books of special interest.
One is a
collection of poetry books, the other is a collection of
traditional, folk and fairy stories. Both include many books
which are no longer in print and also a number of imported
titles, particularly in the traditional stories collection. |
|
The poetry collection includes
sections devoted to nursery rhymes,
humorous poetry, general
anthologies, thematic anthologies,
collections by individual poets,
published collections of poetry by
children and song books. |
|
The traditional stories collection is divided into two sections.
The picture books section is arranged by title, bringing
together many variants of the same stories. The many collections
of stories are mostly arranged by the geographical area from
which they come. There are also collections of stories from many
countries, myths and legends and stories from world religions.
Both collections can be used by researchers, the media and other
organisations, children's literature and education students and
may be viewed on request. If you would like to view the
collection or carry out work based on the books please contact
the Librarian Ann Lazim ann@clpe.co.uk
