The essay examines responses to Darwin's theory from within the field of children's literature, especially animal stories. It accounts for a variety of reactions: Margaret Gatty argues about the "unbridgeable gulf" between species; Charles Kingsley adopts a mixture of fantasy and scientific realism to account for evolution ; finally Edward Clodd, Daniel Wilson, Rudyard Kipling, and Edgar Rice Burroughs focus on the "missing links" between apes and men.
