📚 Juvenile Literature

Books made for the young: the instruction, the escape, and the canon that grew up beside them.

Below are the 30 works carrying the subject juvenile literature in the Open Library catalogue with the most editions in print. Author and first year are as the record states them; a missing year means the record does not carry one, not that the book is undated. Where one author dominates the reprint counts, no more than two of their titles appear.
