CHILDREN’S LITERATURE
A Stories and poems aimed at children have an exceedingly long history: lullabies, for example,
were sung in Romantimes, and a few nursery games and rhymes are almost as ancient. Yet so
far as written-down literature is concerned, while there were stories in print before 1700 that
children often seized on when they had the chance, such as translations of Aesop’s fables, fairy-stories and popular ballads and romances, these were not aimed at young people in particular.
Since the only genuinely child-oriented literature at this time would have been a few instructional
works to help with reading and general knowledge, plus the odd Puritanical tract as an aid to
morality, the only course for keen child readers was to read * literature. This still occurs
today, especially with * thrillers or romances that include more exciting, graphic detail than is
normally found in the literature for younger readers.
B  By the middle of the 18th century there were enough eager child readers, and enough parents
glad to cater to this interest, for publishers to specialize in children’s books whose first aim was
pleasure rather than education or morality. In Britain, a London merchant named Thomas Boreham
produced Cajanus, The Swedish Giant in 1742, while the more famous John Newbery published A
Little Pretty Pocket Book in 1744. Its contents — rhymes, stories, children’s games plus a free
gift (‘A ball and a pincushion’) — in many ways anticipated the similar lucky-dip contents of
children’s annuals this century. It is a tribute to Newbery’s flair that he hit upon a winning formula
quite so quickly, to be pirated almost immediately in America.
C  Such pleasing levity was not to last. Influenced by Rousseau, whose Emile (1762)decreed that
all books for children save Robinson Crusoe were a dangerous diversion, contemporary critics
saw to it that children’s literature should be instructive and uplifting. Prominent among such voices
was Mrs. Sarah Trimmer, whose magazine The Guardian of Education (1802) carried the first
regular reviews of children’s books. It was she who condemned fairy-tales for their violence and
general absurdity; her own stories, Fabulous Histories (1786)described talking animals who were
always models of sense and decorum.
D  So the moral story for children was always threatened from within, given the way children have of
drawing out entertainment from the sternest moralist. But the greatest blow to the improving children’s
book was to come from an unlikely source indeed: early 19th-century interest in folklore. Both nursery
rhymes, selected by James Orchard Halliwell for a folklore society in 1842, and collection of fairy-stories by the scholarly Grimm brothers, swiftly translated into English in 1823, soon rocket to popularity
with the young, quickly leading to new editions, each one more child-centered than the last.
From now on younger children could expect stories written for their particular interest and with the
needs of their own limited experience of life kept well to the fore.
E  What eventually determined the reading of older children was often not the availability of special
children’s literature as such but access to books that contained characters, such as young people
or animals, with whom they could more easily empathize, or action, such as exploring or fighting,
that made few demands on * maturity or understanding.
F The final apotheosis of literary childhood as something to be protected from unpleasant reality
came with the arrival in the late 1930s of child-centered best sellers intend on entertainment at its
most escapist. In Britain novelist such as Enid Blyton and Richmal Crompton described children
who were always free to have the most unlikely adventures, secure in the knowledge that nothing
bad could ever happen to them in the end. The fact that war broke out again during her books’
greatest popularity fails to register at all in the self-enclosed world inhabited by Enid Blyton’s young
characters. Reaction against such dream-worlds was inevitable after World War II, coinciding with
the growth of paperback sales, children’s libraries and a new spirit of moral and social concern.
Urged on by committed publishers and progressive librarians, writers slowly began to explore
new areas of interest while also shifting the settings of their plots from the middle-class world to
which their chiefly * patrons had always previously belonged.
G  Critical emphasis, during this development, has been divided. For some the most important
task was to rid children’s books of the social prejudice and exclusiveness no longer found
acceptable. Others concentrated more on the positive achievements of contemporary children’s
literature. That writers of these works are now often recommended to the attentions of * as
well as child readers echoes the 19th-century belief that children’s literature can be shared by the
generations, rather than being a defensive barrier between childhood and the necessary growth
towards * understanding.
