Since several generations of critical commentaries have produced no consensus
on a definition of children’s literature, a clear and simple description becomes
preferable to none that attempts to be all-embracing. Children’s literature has
two basic characteristics: it is writing for children (that is, people up to the
early teens) and it is intended to be read as literature and not only for information
and guidance.
The first characteristic excludes books that are read by children although
originally intended for adults, such as Gulliver’s Travels and Robinson Crusoe.
Their authors cannot be said to have contemplated the problems of writing for a child
audience. “Children’s classics” though some have become, they stand outside the
mainstream of children’s literature because children usually read abridged versions,
the cutting having been done either by an editor or by readers themselves in the
form of “skipping”.
The second characteristic presents more problems in clarification simply
because, as Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch has noted, “Literature is not an abstract
science, to which exact definition can be applied. It is an art, rather, the success
of which depends on personal persuasiveness, on the author’s skill to give as ours
to receive.” Whether child or adult, this receiving ability varies since it is
dependent not only on the motor skills of reading, but also upon psychological and
emotional makeup and experience. A child’s experience is obviously more limited
than that of an adult, and although constantly expanding, much of it is nonetheless
obtained indirectly. Owing to this innate limitation in children as audience, their
literature cannot claim the stature of that for the literate and knowing adult. Still,
it differs only from adult literature in that its audience imposes the necessity
for certain techniques and emphases: the paring down of characterization, the
condensation of plot and incident, a faster pace, minimal description, and a
basically straightforward story line——all in all, a less intricate web of plot,
character, and style. (321 words)
