Abstract
Accepting Stephens' assertions about some of the cultural functions of children's literature, this paper raises the question of what happens in contemporary children's novels when that which is marked as 'centrally important' to both the child protagonist and reader is Shakespeare. More than that, I wish to examine the cultural complexities that are raised when that child protagonist and often the implied reader is Australian.
