The development of imagination

Sinopse

The imaginings of children, be they make-believe, imaginary companions, pretence or day-dreams, have a unique fascination. In The Development of Imagination the authors detail the imaginary private worlds of some sixty children. These private worlds - or paracosms as they are called - vary widely and the authors have studied the many factors that influence them. This unique and charming study will be of interest to psychologists, teachers, paediatric nurses and parents.
