Throughout history, children's literature has seen a steady evolution of storytelling. During the Middle Ages, there was an increase in literature for young readers, particularly with the Old English Period and the fall of the Roman Empire giving rise to dragon slayer tales. Educational books continued to be made available during this time too. By the Revolutionary Age, more attention was given to children's literature, and writers began producing works that focused on entertainment instead of teaching morals. Children's literature has a long and fascinating history that dates back to ancient Greece and Rome. Over the centuries, it's gone through many different forms, from oral storytelling to books written specifically for children. Highlights of the timeline include 17th-century works like Aesop's Fables, 18th-century books like Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, 19th-century classic adventures such as Tom Sawyer, and 20th-century works like Dr. Seuss's novels. Today, children's literature continues to evolve and delight readers of all ages. With the help of EdrawMax, you can easily recreate a similar diagram.
