Books
for Children
Children’s editions of the Arthurian
legend function as examples of the widespread popularity of Arthurian material
in the 19th and early 20th centuries, but the production of medieval texts
and subjects for children was of even broader scope in this period.
Like the stories of
King Arthur, stories of Robin Hood were told and retold in illustrated
books aimed at youth.

Stories
of British history, tales of Robin Hood, modernizations and abridgements
of medieval British texts are all important here, and the books themselves
include picture books, novelizations, and school texts. Many of these works
emphasize moral and nationalistic values. |
