Children's literature or juvenile literature includes stories, books, magazines, and poems that are enjoyed by children.
Children's literature can be traced to stories and songs, part of a wider oral tradition, that adults shared with children before publishing existed.
Even after printing became widespread, many classic "children's" tales were originally created for adults and later adapted for a younger audience.
Since the 15th century, a large quantity of literature, often with a moral or religious message, has been aimed specifically at children.
The late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries became known as the "Golden Age of Children's Literature" as this period included the publication of many books acknowledged today as classics.
