Classic Children's Literature

Fairy Tales and folklore tales are found across the world from antiquity onward, in both oral and literary form. Often featuring fantastical creatures or settings, this unique genre of literature has been read to children generation after generation and makes up a unique aspect of our shared childhood experiences.

Nursery Rhymes, like Fairy and Folk tales, have been handed down orally from generation to generation. While they might not be as old (the first collections arrive in the mid-1700s), they still speak to years of history and years of family play with young children.
