Abstract
This article was originally presented at the Fourth Symposium of the International Research Society for Children's Literature at Exeter University, England, in September 1978. In Part 1 of this article (Cle, Vol. 10, No. 2), I discussed some condit ions of the possibility of an impact of children's books. This approach is in the old German tradit ion of Kant, who pondered over the condit ions o f the possibility of experience. Specifically, I applied three basic concepts of reception theory to children's literature. However, it is wholesome at t imes to leave the castles in the air and touch the ground of reality. After all, not every rabbit is a figment of the imagination; there are also real ones. So we will turn to some results of empirical research.
