Children’S Literature: An Open Door To Imagination

Children’s literature: an open door to imagination

Introduction

Children’s literature, myths, popular stories and fables. When we talk about children’s literature we talk about impressions. Oral tradition is superimporting. They tried to explain something important that are myths. Man’s relationship with the world. The myth is a narrative that gives an account in the narration of memorable characters of the relationship that man has with divinities. The oral popular story is a lower form of myth.

Developing

Day -to -day characters (oral story). The popular story does not necessarily have a moral, but the fable does. It is found in the middle of a myth and a fiction story. Popular stories have strong messages, but not necessarily a moral. When you read Isopo’s stories you ask you if it really was for children. Until the 18th century childhood went from birth to 5 years. From 5 years children were no longer considered children but adults.

There was no differentiation between the stages of life at that time. The thousand and one nights. Stories that were originally popular stories. We have the printing press since 1456 century 15. Centuries have passed for stories to begin to be printed. Who were the children who could have access to these printed books? Upper class children. Thus they educated the children of the nobility. They are behavioral manuals especially. They were quite complex treated. 

You wanted to instruct that political class from a very young age.

They talked a lot about the adventures of navigators. In the biography they had. In England we have stories of cavalry and ladies and kings. In England in 1484 the first translations of the fables of Aesop. Are translated into English. There is a book called orbis sensualium pictus. THE FIRST BOOK FOR CHILDREN’S. Is a beautiful book. A kind of alphabet and teaches children things.

First illustrated book aimed at a specific children’s audience. La Fontaine, takes the fables of Aesop and rewrites them. He was one of the king’s accessors. His version of the fables are directed to instruct the King’s son. Fable is a brief story, characters are animals that mimic human behavior (there is a situation where the idea is about a particular subject) and comes with the moral. Who says the moral. Fontaine uses a very complicated language. 

conclusion

As the fables were counted it is difficult to know when they begin to collect by writings. Fontein collects and rewrites the fables that were counted orally. There were translators. Isopo is known as the father of the fable and Fontein the embellisher. Fable is animals that mimic human behavior and has a moral. An Aesopo and La Fontein card. Search and treat the card only focused on a particular fácula. If we see that they cannot be filled, it does not apply.
