First, I would like to thank my committee, and specifically Dr. Kidd, my dissertation chair, for his constant support and calm advice. I always came out of meetings with him feeling better than when I went in. Also, I would like to thank Dr. Leverenz for all of his thoughtful and thorough feedback on my chapter drafts. I also thank Dr. Cech and Dr. Kawashima for their pointers and advice. I also wish to thank the staff of the Smathers Library, particularly Rita Smith, retired curator of the Baldwin Library of Historical Children‟s Literature, for all her help locating and making available to me many of the more obscure texts with which I worked, as well as for finding and purchasing a copy of Girvin‟s Round Fairyland with Alice and the White Rabbit for the Baldwin. I would like to thank my parents, Duane and Jo, for their unwavering love and support. I thank them for always believing in me and being there for me. And last but not least, I wish to thank my husband, Aaron, for all the love and patience he showed me as I was researching and writing.
