Zusammenfassung:	"This book calls for a re-imagining of global picture book history: with the former Soviet Union at the centre of this narrative web. The result of an unusual collaboration between India and Lithuania, it looks at two different global impacts of the Soviet picture book enterprise. At a particular period in Indian history, cheaply available Soviet picture books, in English and vernacular translations, changed the way Indian children read. This was part of the Soviet Union’s efforts to spread ‘socialist’ culture across the world. Meanwhile, a different and more problematic kind of cultural ‘globalization’ was underway in the regions governed by the Soviet State, and Lithuania is a rich case in point. A wonderfully extensive archive of images has been mined to go with this history: from socialist realist art to classic examples of the Lithuanian primitive-modern. Many of these images have been featured in an English language publication for the first time." -- Publisher's Synopsis Children’s picture books from the Soviet Union: The view from India: The Enduring Appeal of Soviet Children's Books, p.8 -- Soviet books for India: A Brief History and Some Reflections, p.16 -- The Soviet Experiment with Education and Children's Book Publishing, p.26 -- The Soviet Picture Book for Children: Some Thoughts on its History and Aesthetics, p.36 -- The Soviet Example and Indian Concerns, p.48 -- Select References, p.52 -- Children’s book illustrations from Soviet Lithuania: Art and Publishing in Lithuania: From Independence to Soviet Rule, p.56 -- Children's Literature in Soviet Lithuania: Responses to Socialist Realism, p.66 -- The Dynamic 1960s: New Directions in Children's Book Illustrations, p.124 -- Children's Book Illustrations in an Era of Stagnation: 1970s and after, p.164 -- Postscript from the Past, p.172 -- Acknowledqements, p.174
