[Reynolds] consistently provides the evidence of a varied and innovative radical tradition of writing for children, and she does this in engaging and clear prose. Her comprehensive and welcome bibliography provides further evidence of her claim and is a useful introduction to the subject. ... In this book Reynolds has provided a powerful argument to support this statement, and has done us all a service by illuminating a tradition that has been consistently ignored.

Children's Literature Association Quarterly

Wonderful new book... a major contribution to scholarship.

Julia L Mickenberg, History of Education

Reynolds' study provides an enticing invitation to explore in greater detail these forgotten children's books that challenged tradition and imagined the modern world.

extraordinarily interesting assembly of contrary views

Nick Tucker, Tablet

Left Out presents an alternative and corrective history of writing for children in the first half of the twentieth century. Between 1910 and 1949 a number of British publishers, writers, and illustrators included children's literature in their efforts to make Britain a progressive, egalitarian, and modern society. Some came from privileged backgrounds, others from the poorest parts of the poorest cities in the land; some belonged to the metropolitan intelligentsia or bohemia, others were working-class autodidacts, but all sought to use writing for children and young people to create activists, visionaries, and leaders among the rising generation.Together they produced a significant number of both politically and aesthetically radical publications for children and young people. This 'radical children's literature' was designed to ignite and underpin the work of making a new Britain for a new kind of Briton. While there are many dedicated studies of children's literature and childrens' writers working in other periods, the years 1910-1949 have previous received little critical attention. In this study, Kimberley Reynolds shows that the accepted characterisation of inter-war children's literature as retreatist, anti-modernist, and apolitical is too sweeping and that the relationship between children's literature and modernism, left-wing politics, and progressive education has been neglected.
