From the supplier: Gertrude Stein's children's book, 'The World Is Round' is examined in the context of spirituality, liberty and authority. Conventional understanding of the story is limited by personal expectations of children's fairy tales. Howver, Stein uses the narrative medium to challenge traditional social conceptions by 'talking back.' The journey of the central character, Rose may be regarded as escape rather than the male interpretation of quest.
