Summary:

Two essays and a collection of images provide insight into the pleasures of Dutch children living in 17th century Holland. Drawing their evidence primarily from Dutch paintings, prints, and drawings (and, to a lesser extent, archaeological digs, cookbooks, medical books, and diaries), professor of education Barnes (Hofstra U.) explores Dutch children's toys, games, and pleasurable amusements, while food historian Rose considers the food pleasures of Dutch children. Also presented is a collection of color reproductions of 17th century Dutch artwork representing the pleasures of children, as well as a small collection of recipes.
