Children's Literature Digital Collection
Illustration from Sheila's Mystery by Mrs Molesworth, from the Children's Literature Collection.
The Children's Literature Collection is a specialist collection within the university library. It exists to support children's literature studies at Roehampton and the work of the National Centre for Research in Children's Literature (NCRCL).
As well as reference books and journals, the Collection houses a large number of children's books of historical interest, mainly from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Several of these have now been digitised in their entirety and can be found here, complete with covers, frontispieces and illustrations.
