Children’s literature began as an oral tradition even before the invention of printing. Stories often had religious or moral purposes of teaching values. The late 19th and early 20th century is considered a golden age of children’s literature because many of the classic books were published during that time. For example, Mark Twain published “Tom Sawyer” in 1876, and Rudyard Kipling’s “The Jungle Book” was first published in 1894.
