Peer reviewedMerchant, Peter – Children's Literature in Education, 1990
Discusses Robert Patlock's 1750 novel "The Life and Adventures of Peter Wilkins." Argues that the novel is more than just a late contribution to the tradition of the imaginary voyage, but a novel in which the voyage being traced is both the hero's and the reader's. (MG)
