Children's Literature & Manuscripts
Children's literature is the only kind defined not by any special features, but by its audience. The designation is often inaccurate in at least two ways: "children's literature" is enjoyed by many who are no longer children, and many books, such as Daniel Defoe's 'Robinson Crusoe' (1719), and Mark Twain's 'Huckleberry Finn' (1884), were not written "for" children, although they are read and enjoyed by them. Only in recent years have works designated as "children's literature" received serious critical attention.
