Publisher Comments:

Is genius shaped by the imagination of childhood? Cobbs collection of autobiographies and biographies of creative people, as well as her observations of childrens play, suggests just that. She sees the child to be innately connected with the natural world. Inner powers alone do not further the imagination. Her book remains an important philosophical meditation on the importance of childrens deep experience of nature to their adult cognition and psychological well-being.

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. 113-136) and index.
