Childness is what critic Peter Hollindale calls being and/or knowing what it is to be a child.
Because of Nancy's ethos--and faith in the contributors with whom she worked--several articles staged first in Signal developed into books that have become standard in children's literature studies: Lance Salway's Peculiar Gift: Nineteenth Century Writings on Books for Children; Jill Bennett's Learning to Read with Picture Books; Jane Doonan's Looking at Pictures in Picture Books; Peter Hollindale's Ideology and the Children's Book and Signs of Childness in Children's Books.
