Children's Literature

I am almost inclined to set it up as a canon that a children's story which is enjoyed only by children is a bad children's story. The good ones last.

C. S. Lewis

... The peculiarity of child readers is that they are not peculiar. It is we who are peculiar. Fashions in literary taste come and go among the adults, and every period has its own shibboleths. These, when good, do not improve the taste of children, and, when bad, do not corrupt it; for children read only to enjoy.

C. S. Lewis

I do not write for children. I write for me.
