The Admiral's Caravan by Charles E. Carryl The Admiral's Caravan By Charles E. Carryl Children's Literature is either books specifically written for children, or literature which has subsequently been deemed to be appropriate for children. Thus for example The Three Musketeers may not have been intended as book for children, but was later became acknowledeged as a children's "classic." All of which is, of course, problematic. Children come in all shapes and sizes (and ages), so the term is vaguely applied to any works for anyone under the age of 18. We have no subdivision into "age-appropriate" groups, so that Mother Goose sits happily along side Gulliver's Travels. Moreover, taste and ideas...

Charles Edward Carryl's 'Davy and the Goblin' epitomizes the Victorian golden age of children's literature, embedding itself firmly within this rich tradition. As Carryl weaves the journey of Davy, a young skeptic in matters of the fantastical, readers are plunged into a tapestry of adventure stitched together with both familiar and obscure mythical vignettes. Carryl's narrative bears the influence of Carrollian logic and whimsy, while also hinting at the early stirrings of the nonsense verse popularized by authors such as Edward Lear, imbuing the tale with a delightful balance of moral questions and playful absurdity. The literary style is marked by its lyrical prose and vibrant imagery, wh...
