Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Home Childhood and Children’s Literature -- Chapter 3: Recovery of Origins: Myths of Homeland and Return in the Fantasy Fiction of O.R. Melling -- Chapter 4: Continuity and Change: The Tradition / Modernity Dialectic in the Construction of Home in Kate Thompson’s The New Policeman and Creature of the Night -- Chapter 5: Internationalization or Globalization? Myth Technology and Mobility in Eoin Colfer’s Artemis Fowl Series -- Chapter 6: Inclusions and Exclusions: Debunking Myths of Home and Homelessness in the Fiction of Siobhán Parkinson -- Chapter 7: Unhomely Secrets in the Work of Siobhan Dowd -- Chapter 8: Conclusion.

In the context of changing constructs of home and of childhood since the mid-twentieth century, this book examines discourses of home and homeland in Irish children’s fiction from 1990 to 2012, a time of dramatic change in Ireland spanning the rise and fall of the Celtic Tiger and of unprecedented growth in Irish children’s literature. Close readings of selected texts by five award-winning authors are linked to social, intellectual and political changes in the period covered and draw on postcolonial, feminist, cultural and children’s literature theory, highlighting the political and ideological dimensions of home and the value of children’s literature as a lens through which to view culture and society as well as an imaginative space where young people can engage with complex ideas relevant to their lives and the world in which they live. Examining the works of O. R. Melling, Kate Thompson, Eoin Colfer, Siobhán Parkinson and Siobhan Dowd, Ciara Ní Bhroin argues that Irish children’s literature changed at this time from being a vehicle that largely promoted hegemonic ideologies of home in post-independence Ireland to a site of resistance to complacent notions of home in Celtic Tiger Ireland. Ciara Ní Bhroin is a founding member and former president of the Irish Society for the Study of Children’s Literature. She lectured for many years in English language, literacy and literature at the Marino Institute of Education, an associated college of Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland. She has published a range of articles and book chapters on children’s literature and is co-editor of What Do We Tell the Children? Critical Essays on Children’s Literature (2012).
