At the beginning of the 20th century, the status of children’s literature was changing. Though it's a disputed point, the Book of Mormon was written sometime between 2,000 B.C. This perhaps influenced the initial acclaim for Eve Garnett’s The Family from One End Street (1937), a book motivated by Garnett’s concern about working-class slum conditions. The older ones need to be very much better to hold their own against today's literature.
Though her subjects are anthropomorphised, the gently satirical works largely avoid sentimentality. However, many of those involved in these initiatives came from similar backgrounds and made similar selections of material, which largely reflected middle-class tastes and experience. This category has the following 23 subcategories, out of 23 total. Titles with multiple nominations almost always made the cut.

Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows (1908) has also been seen as a reflection of the author’s anxiety about increased mechanisation, the changing social order and the role of women. A more complex issue is how certain books fit with the reader's emotional age. Although intended for a different age of child, it is obvious that the author has improved significantly during these years; yet, WRINKLE made the list, while RING did not....a hard choice. Fantasy literature flourished throughout this period. In the late 1920s and 1930s, however, there were initiatives, presaged in the United States, which reflected increased interest in children’s literature. Usually, booksellers' catalogs are limited to the books they happen to have in stock; happily, we ignored what we had.
With the century coming to an end soon, there are all sorts of "best" lists out there: top 10 this, top 20 that. Ultimately, this catalog is about literature, a selection of the best writing for children, which generated some fierce internal debate over several wordless picture-books that ultimately didn't make the list.
Her three works about the Bastable Family, The Story of the Treasure Seekers (1899), The Wouldbegoods (1901) and New Treasure Seekers (1904) exemplify a less literary, more colloquial language. This list may not reflect recent changes (learn more). The Hobbit – the culmination of between-the-wars fantasy for children and originally written for Tolkien’s own sons and daughter – was revised after the Second World War to tally better with The Lord of the Rings sequence.
Put it down to the FAHRENHEIT 451 syndrome; a feeling that one or a handful of books could suffice for the proverbial desert island. Publishers began to engage editors specifically for children’s books, for example Grace Hogarth at Oxford University Press in 1936 and Eleanor Graham (who had previously run the children’s section in the London bookshop Bumpus Books) at Puffin in 1940. His two books of verse When We Were Very Young (1924) and Now We Are Six (1927), and two collections about Pooh, Piglet and friends, Winnie-the-Pooh (1926) and The House at Pooh Corner (1928), eclipsed his reputation as a playwright and Punch contributor. They sometimes stumbled over the leading edges, but they have proved remarkably astute for 75 years, from the beginning of the modern children's book. by Kimberley Reynolds and Nicholas Tucker (Aldershot: Scholar Press, 1988), p. 5. It’s still hard to get used to. Now that we have covered a few must-read kid books from the 19th Century, let’s move on to more classic books from the 20th Century and start off with children’s books from the early 1900s. Post-colonial criticism is therefore one fruitful way of examining works such as The Little Princess (1905) and The Secret Garden (1911) by Frances Hodgson Burnett, both of which feature child protagonists who move from India to England. This list may not reflect recent changes . Arthur Ransome, in his celebrated series of family adventures featuring the Walker, Blackett and Callum children against a backdrop of the Lake District and the Norfolk Broads (with occasional sorties further afield), is often credited with originality in advancing the adventure story by grounding it in reality and reflecting and celebrating children’s freedom to explore and experience danger. There are 19th century books appearing here, and there are 20th century books I can't add because there isn't a 20th century edition in the database. Some we remember with particular fondness from our childhood, but others which we missed as children we found difficult to appreciate with the wholehearted enthusiasm of yesterday, Masefield's MIDNIGHT FOLK and even WRINKLE IN TIME come to mind. In addition, amid the wealth of school stories for girls (a genre which reached its zenith at this period) by authors such as Angela Brazil, Elsie Oxenham and Dorita Fairlie Bruce, by 1940 the Chalet-School stories by Elinor Brent-Dyer reflected the threat of Nazism. All of the non-fiction we examined seemed too ephemeral in content; the best of these books, like Steichen's FIRST PICTURE BOOK are impossibly dated.
The reviewing magazine Junior Bookshelf was first published in 1936, and the Carnegie Medal was first awarded in 1937. We have consciously steered away from books with a moral, or with any agenda other than pure delight. Finally, it should be borne in mind that most children’s fiction throughout the period was illustrated – and illustrators such as H R Millar (Nesbit) and E H Shepard (Milne) are inextricably linked with the lasting success of the works they illuminated. At the other end, we guessed that the best modern books were published by 1976. This seemed plenty when we began with a list of 40-50 classics. Hundreds of books were nominated for our list, by editors, publishers, authors, illustrators, librarians, and teachers, even children themselves.
It is classic because of a certain eternal and irrepressible freshness. An early notable example, J M Barrie’s creation Peter Pan, first appears in The Little White Bird (1902), a work intended for adults, then in a play (1904), then a book (1906) and subsequently a novel based on the play, published as Peter and Wendy (1911). Yet allowance has to be made for priority of expression. I am responsible for the British Library’s collections of material printed in the UK and Ireland from 1901-2000. So we begin with an apology and a caution; we regret that your favorite book is missing from our list, but perhaps this will discourage anyone from using this list as a definitive basis for a collection of high spots.

We also decided to eliminate a class of books which Munari has called "pre-books;" titles such as PAT THE BUNNY having the attributes of toys as much as books. In celebration of the end of our century we thought it would be fun to publish a catalog of the most important modern books, read "those we had as children", yet, ones which children still read and enjoy. In the end we realize that selection of a hundred is no less arbitrary a criterion than some others which also shaped this catalog. Hugh Lofting’s series of books about Dr Dolittle, of which the first was published in New York in 1920, grew from the stories he had originally told in letters to his children from the front line during the First World War. While Milne’s protagonists remain recognisably toy animals, Beatrix Potter’s small and satisfyingly shaped books, which begin with Peter Rabbit (privately printed in 1901, then published by Warne in 1902), are clearly about real animals – the illustrations reflecting her interest in anatomy and close observation of wildlife.
Books specifically for children existed by the 17th century. Enid Blyton, an astonishingly prolific author, published her first book in 1922, and her long writing career for children developed during these decades, many of her works originally appearing in the children’s magazine Sunny Stories. reply | flag * message 30: by Alex (last edited Jul 29, 2008 11:55AM) (new) Jul 29, 2008 11:14AM. In general, children’s books of the 1930s have been criticised as having ignored the economic, social and political situation of the time – though Noel Streatfeild’s books are saturated with anxiety about financial security.

As is clear from their recollections in Signal: Approaches to Children’s Books, women editors of children’s books suffered from a double lack of status, making it even harder for them to increase the standing of children’s literature.
This rich period was followed by the dislocation of the First World War (1914–18) and its immediate aftermath when relatively few children’s books were published. Library authorities began to appoint children’s librarians, perhaps most notably Hendon Library’s appointment of Eileen Colwell in 1926. However, no survey of 1930s authors seems complete without a reference to Geoffrey Trease and his attempt to introduce left-of-centre politics into children’s literature, beginning with Bows against the Barons (1934), and perhaps more successfully achieved, with a much lighter touch, in Cue for Treason (1940). Another problem is that of selecting a single best title among a number of outstanding alternates.
