In 1863, the Russian imperial government decreed restrictions on book publishing in Ukrainian. The restrictions were then revised and were endorsed on several later occasions. They banned nonfiction literature directed at common people, children’s literature, and translations from Russian. The restrictions were in force until the all-Russian revolution in 1905, although they were formally repealed only in 1907. This article discusses the books the censors authorized for publication despite the fact that their publication violated the restrictions on Ukrainian publishing. In the years 1863-1904, 125 such books were published in all. Most of them appeared during three periods: 1874-76, 1882-83 and 1896-1904. In the first period, most books were permitted by a corrupt censor in Kyiv who received bribes from the local Hromada, a Ukrainian society. In the second period, minor concessions to Ukrainian publishers were deemed politically expedient. In the third period, the censors took the general usefulness of the book into account; if they deemed the book useful, they permitted it even though its publication violated the restrictions. Ukrainian activists used these opportunities because they facilitated popular enlightenment in the Ukrainian national spirit through book publishing.

This article takes as its starting-point the responsiveness of children's literature to socio-political events, considering how contemporary anxieties about relationships between Muslim and Christian individuals and cultures inform three historical novels set in the period of the Third Crusade (1189–92): Karleen Bradford's Lionheart's Scribe (1999), K. M. Grant's Blood Red Horse (2004), and Elizabeth Laird's Crusade (2008). In these novels, encounters between young Christian and Muslim protagonists are represented through language and representational modes which owe a good deal to the habits of thought and expression which typify orientalist discourses in Western fiction. In effect, the novels produce two versions of medievalism: a Muslim medieval world which is irretrievably pre-modern, locked into rigid practices and beliefs against which individuals are powerless; and a Christian medieval world which offers individuals the possibility of progressing to an enhanced state of personal fulfilment. The article argues that the narratives of all three novels incorporate particularly telling moments when Christian protagonists return to England, regretfully leaving Muslim friends. The impossibility of enduring friendships between Muslims and Christians is based on the novels’ assumptions about the incommensurability of cultures and religions; specifically, that there exists an unbridgeable gulf between Islam and Christianity.

The article discusses the development of children’s literature in France, which influenced all European children’s literature, which went along the path of education, training and parenting, in contrast to American children’s literature, which took a course primarily on entertainment. The study presents the reasons for the pedagogical path of children’s French literature, shows the foundations of approaches that are rooted in the humanistic ideas of the Russian writer and educator L.N. Tolstoy, the Czech educator F. Bakule and his follower L. Havranek. Russian artists who emigrated from the Soviet Russia (for various reasons), but who were closely connected with the Russian education, also played a fundamental role in this influence. The influence of the concept of the development of children by means of art, developed by F. Bakule, on the publishing projects of the French educator P. Faucher is analyzed in particular. The scientist, educator, book publisher P. Faucher is shown as the central figure of this successful book-publishing project. His role in this project, as well as his importance as a person who influenced the development of children’s literature, are known. At the same time, little is known about the sources of his pedagogical creativity, his book publishing ideas, and there is no scientific coverage of the role of artists in the implementation of pedagogical ideas in book publishing. The issue is resolved by the example of the publication of a series of children’s books “Albums of Father Beaver”, which had been published for about thirty years (in the 1930s and 1960s), was translated into 20 languages. In 2018, the series was included in the UNESCO Memory of the World Register. The article is to some extent interdisciplinary in nature, the authors needed to turn, first of all, to the pedagogical science, but also to the art criticism and research in the field of book publishing.

Historically, children’s literature awards have been established both to improve the quality of children’s literature and to promote the market for children’s books. Today, an international prize for literature can be seen as a socio-political game with the aim of disseminating specific values and sharing various ideas that seem relevant to a society. The Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award (ALMA) is the most generous children’s literature award in monetary terms – and, at the same time, one of the largest literary awards. The study examines the details and choices of ALMA nomination, provides a brief insight into the problems of the awarding phenomenon, as well as considers ALMA in the context of Latvian book publishing.
