Description: 
Sarah utilized the Nesbitt Collection to investigate narrative retellings of previously known stories in children’s literature. She identified at least 5 versions of each story and compared them through descriptive bibliography to draw conclusions about why and for whom these books were created. She also studied the relationship between the book’s physical form and the circumstances of its publication.
