Re: Names children invent for places that matter to them
Dear Jeremy,
I am glad the points I raised in my last comment were of interest for your work.
The Nelson Brothers collection is totally worth a visit to Amherst College, when you can. The breadth of material these boys created around their imaginary play world is both exemplary and, I am sure, common to a wider number of children than we know about -- records lost to time and to archival practices that have a marked preference for records/evidence/documents produced by adults.
Re: Names children invent for places that matter to them
Dear Carla and Mahshid,
Thank you for taking the trouble to reply to my question, and for your interesting and informative thoughts. I'm sorry not to reply sooner - I thought I had done so but it seems my laptop swallowed my message.
Re: Names children invent for places that matter to them
Dear Jeremy,
Delightful research and questions!
