- Description
- In "Bloodthirsty Little Brats; or, The Child's Desire for Biblical Violence," Roland Boer argues that "moralizing tales of goodness and obeduence" are far less popular with children than the more violent take of David and Goliath and others that are less well known but that also show the triump of the smaller and wealer against a stronger oppressor.
