Reading can take a child to imaginary lands filled with good fairies and evil witches, worlds where giants roam and elves sing. Children can embark on exciting adventures, fight the forces of evil and learn about the wonders of science, simply by reading a book. Children's literature opens young minds, stirs the imagination and introduces far-away places. However, few children's books were written before the 19th century. Those that were focused on teaching children what to believe or how to behave. Not until the 1800s did authors and illustrators begin to produce works designed to entertain rather than inform. From then to now, children's literature has grown steadily. Today, young readers can choose nursery rhymes, fairy tales, comic books, biographies and a host of other works created just for them.
