| Note |
"Children and Sexuality is a bracing reminder that the young were eroticized long before pedophiles discovered the Internet. A haunting, meticulous and provocative book that places the modern anxiety about lost innocence in historical context and raises thorny questions about adult-child relations in every era."--Carl Honore. |
