ABSTRACT

This chapter captures the inventions that are freely produced works of 'fantasy', and included them at the heart of children's literature in the marketing, criticism and discussion. Such ideas of self-evident simplicity and obviousness ignore two major problems to do the concepts of the child and children's literature. Firstly, 'children's books' are written, published, marketed and usually bought by adults. Secondly, the idea of what children are like, what they think and feel, changes in different historical and cultural settings. That is, institution of childhood provides an interpretive frame for understanding the early years of human life. The biological immaturity rather than childhood which is a universal and natural feature of human groups. They differ in views of whether children given a voice, or produced as silence, but in the case of Kids and children's literature, these are adult-controlled productions and creations of childhood.
