Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Food Places in Children’s Literature analyses how food, place and social interactions are intertwined in children’s and young adult novels. This book sets out to analyse a range of children’s books from across the 20th and 21st centuries, each of which relate to specific kinds of places, from the kitchen to the restaurant to the ad hoc picnic place, by using selected spatial theories, but also considering, for example, theories of communication. Examining how food is an object of material culture and shapes identities in a way similar to places, the book explores what happens when food and place meet and become intertwined within children’s narratives. This book is for scholars, academics, and postgraduate students in the arts and humanities with a special focus on children’s literature and media (literature, film and media studies) as well as academics and students with a special interest in food studies.
