Occupying a space somewhere between the purely didactic and the nonsensical, most children’s books published in the past few hundred years have attempted to find a line between the two poles, seeking a balance between entertainment and instruction. However, that line seems to move closer to one pole or another depending on the prevailing cultural sentiments of the time. And the very fact that children’s books were hardly published at all before the early 18th century tells us a lot about when and how modern ideas of childhood as a separate category of existence began.</p> <div class="oc-center"><img decoding="async" width="543" height="792" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1023707 native-lazyload-js-fallback" src="https://www.openculture.com/wp-content/plugins/native-lazyload/assets/images/placeholder.svg" alt="ABCs" loading="lazy" data-src="https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/29230621/ABCs.png" data-srcset="https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/29230621/ABCs.png 543w, https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/29230621/ABCs-103x150.png 103w, https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/29230621/ABCs-206x300.png 206w, https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/29230621/ABCs-300x438.png 300w" data-sizes="(max-width: 543px) 100vw, 543px"><noscript><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="543" height="792" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1023707" src="https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/29230621/ABCs.png" alt="ABCs" srcset="https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/29230621/ABCs.png 543w, https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/29230621/ABCs-103x150.png 103w, https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/29230621/ABCs-206x300.png 206w, https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/29230621/ABCs-300x438.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 543px) 100vw, 543px"></noscript></div> <p>“By the end of the 18th century,” <a href="http://www.bl.uk/romantics-and-victorians/articles/the-origins-of-childrens-literature" rel="nofollow">writes Newcastle University professor M.O.

Adventure stories offered a (very colonialist) view of the wide world; in series like the Boston-published <a href="http://ufdc.ufl.edu/UF00081868/00001/1x"><em>Zig Zag</em></a> and English books like <a href="http://ufdc.ufl.edu/UF00086071/00001/1x"><em>Afloat with Nelson</em></a>, both from the 1890s, fact mingled with fiction, natural history and science with battle and travel accounts.

The <a href="http://ufdc.ufl.edu/UF00026175/00001/1j"><em>A.L.O.E.’s Bible Picture Book</em></a> from 1871, above, presents “Stories from the Life of Our Lord in Verse,” written “simply for the Lord’s lambs, rhymes more readily than prose attracting the attention of children, and fastening themselves on their memories.” Children and adults regularly memorized poetry, after all. Yet after the explosion in children’s publishing the former readers were often given inferior examples of it. The author of the <em>Bible Picture Book</em> admits as much, begging the indulgence of older readers in the preface for “defects in my work,” given that “the verses were made for the pictures, not the pictures for the verses.”</p> <div class="oc-center"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="600" height="791" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1023708 native-lazyload-js-fallback" src="https://www.openculture.com/wp-content/plugins/native-lazyload/assets/images/placeholder.svg" alt="Elfin Rhymes" data-src="https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/29230649/Elfin-Rhymes.png" data-srcset="https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/29230649/Elfin-Rhymes.png 600w, https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/29230649/Elfin-Rhymes-114x150.png 114w, https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/29230649/Elfin-Rhymes-228x300.png 228w, https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/29230649/Elfin-Rhymes-300x396.png 300w" data-sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px"><noscript><img loading="lazy" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="600" height="791" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1023708" src="https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/29230649/Elfin-Rhymes.png" alt="Elfin Rhymes" srcset="https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/29230649/Elfin-Rhymes.png 600w, https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/29230649/Elfin-Rhymes-114x150.png 114w, https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/29230649/Elfin-Rhymes-228x300.png 228w, https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/29230649/Elfin-Rhymes-300x396.png 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px"></noscript></div> <p>This is not an author, or perhaps a type of literature, one might suspect, that thinks highly of children’s aesthetic sensibilities.  We find precisely the opposite to be the case in the wonderful <a href="http://ufdc.ufl.edu/UF00086964/00001/1x"><em>Elfin Rhymes</em></a> from 1900, written by the mysterious “Norman” with “40 drawings by Carton Moorepark.” Whoever “Norman” may be (or why his one-word name appears in quotation marks), he gives his readers poems that might be mistaken at first glance for unpublished <a href="https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems-and-poets/poets/detail/christina-rossetti">Christina Rossetti </a>verses; and Mr. Moorepark’s illustrations rival those of the finest book illustrators of the time, presaging the high quality of <a href="http://www.ala.org/alsc/awardsgrants/bookmedia/caldecottmedal/caldecottmedal">Caldecott Medal</a>-winning books of later decades. <a href="http://ufdc.ufl.edu/UF00086964/00001/1x"><em>Elfin Rhymes</em></a> seems like a rare oddity, likely published in a small print run; the care and attention of its layout and design shows a very high opinion of its readers’ imaginative capabilities.</p> <div class="oc-center"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="546" height="788" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1023709 native-lazyload-js-fallback" src="https://www.openculture.com/wp-content/plugins/native-lazyload/assets/images/placeholder.svg" alt="Elfin Rhymes 2" data-src="https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/29231134/Elfin-Rhymes-2.png" data-srcset="https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/29231134/Elfin-Rhymes-2.png 546w, https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/29231134/Elfin-Rhymes-2-104x150.png 104w, https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/29231134/Elfin-Rhymes-2-208x300.png 208w, https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/29231134/Elfin-Rhymes-2-300x433.png 300w" data-sizes="auto, (max-width: 546px) 100vw, 546px"><noscript><img loading="lazy" loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="546" height="788" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1023709" src="https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/29231134/Elfin-Rhymes-2.png" alt="Elfin Rhymes 2" srcset="https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/29231134/Elfin-Rhymes-2.png 546w, https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/29231134/Elfin-Rhymes-2-104x150.png 104w, https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/29231134/Elfin-Rhymes-2-208x300.png 208w, https://cdn8.openculture.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/29231134/Elfin-Rhymes-2-300x433.png 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 546px) 100vw, 546px"></noscript></div> <p>This title is representative of an emerging genre of late Victorian children’s literature, which still tended on the whole, as it does now, to fall into the trite and formulaic. <em>Elfin Rhymes</em> sits astride the fantasy boom at the turn of the century, heralded by hugely popular books like <a href="http://www.openculture.com/2013/09/the-complete-wizard-of-oz-series-available-as-free-ebooks-and-free-audio-books.html">Frank L.

I’m pretty sure the book you are thinking of is “Slovenly Peter,” published originally in German as “Struwwelpeter.” Note to all not familiar with this book: Although apparently it was intended to be light-hearted, I found it horrifying as a child and I still do. It’s full of grim and gory ideas and images about what happens to “bad” boys and girls.

<p>What an interesting site! I must, as a children and young adult book author myself, have a look more deeply into these books. I had many favourites myself, but ‘The Secret of the Sun God’s Cave’, a great adventure about Rak, an early man, was my most favourite. Wonderful illustrations. I would love to find it and read it again. Another favourite was the Children of the Sea, about a boy who saves a young ‘dolphin that had been bitten by a shark. ‘Lad a Dog’ by Albert Payson Terhune is another. ‘Winnie the Pooh’.
