Children’s literature began to flourish on a variety of fronts. The theme
is the focus on children themselves and the didactic tone no longer
succeeded in this new child-centered environment. The last half of the
20th
century
is often viewed as a “Second Golden Age” of children’s
writing.
20th
century
At the end of the
19th century
, changes in publishing and printing
attracted great illustrators.
By the end of the 19th century, stunningly illustrated children's books
were available at reasonable prices.
Books of the
18th century
and earlier either lacked illustrations
altogether or contained crude woodblock illustration, because serious
artists did not draw for children's books.
