Children's Literature Association The Image of the Child Proceedings of the 1991 International Conferenceof The Children's Literature Association University of Southern Mississippi Hattiesburg, Mississippi 30 May-2 June 1991 Editor Sylvia Patterson Iskander University of Southwestern Louisiana 3 m The Children's Literature Association Battle Creek, Michigan 1991 4 Introduction The proceedinas of the Eiahteenth Annual International Conference of The Children's Literature Associatioa contains the addresses and awards presented at the conference held at the University of Southern Mississippi, May 30 to June 2, 1991, together with, for the first time, all the papers presented, plus a listing of the panels and workshops presented and abstracts of those papers which were withdrawn from the proceedings in order to be published elsewhere. Although it has always keen the policy of The Children's Literature Association to allow papers printed in the Proceedinas to be published elsewhere, some journals are now refusing acceptance if a paper has appeared anywhere else. Participants are srAely responsible for the content of their papers. The success of the conference was largely due to the efforts of the Local Arrangements Committee: Dee Jones, Curator of the de Grummond Collection (chair), Anne Lundin, and Terry Latour; the Paper Selection Committee, Sylvia Patterson Iskander (chair), Anne Lundin, and Nancy Verhoek; and to the support of the conferenre by the de Grummond Collection, the University of Southern Mississippi, the Library of Hattiesburg, Petal and Forrest County, and the City of Hattiesburg. I would also like to thank the outgoing president, Norma Bagnall, for answering mary questions about procedure; the former editors, Sue Gannon and Ruth Anne Thompson, for their invaluable advice; and my colleagues: Willard Fox for repeatedly lending his time and expertise about MLA style as well as Word Perfect; Barbara Cicardo and Becky Patterson for transferring Mac manuscripts and scanning papers for conversion to Word Perfect; and Laureen Tedesco for proofreading and more proofreading.
