Is Fantasy Disappearing
From Children's Books?
p
"Sorry, we no longer pub
lish fantasy.
No fantasy? Where are the -Jacks
in the beanstalks, the
Alices in Wonderland?
Children's book heroes to- '
day apparently come fromf
space, like A Book of Sat-f
telites for You, Rockets Into!
Space and The Sun, the Moon
and the Stars, all Junior Li-i
brary books on display ati
Love Memorial Library.
"Why teach fantasy?" said
Lincoln scnool teacner, r.. n.. j
Meinke. "I'd rather stick to .
the facts. Twenty-five years w S
ago 1 wouiu nave aaiu uicac
space books were fantasy, but
not now."
"When I went to school.
they doubted the dinosaurs,"!
he went on. "Now they've1
found them."
So the modern c h i 1 d's
book, now more fact than
fancy, begins: "You live on
the earth. It Is your world,
and you know it very welL
You know that there are riv
ers and mountains and
space . .
Juvenile literature, is pro
viding more than entertain
ment; it's trying to tell its
young readers "why," and
"how" and "who." Like
these books. Getting to Know
the USSR; All About Archae
ology; Lather Burbank, Na
ture's Helper; Your Heart
Bd How It Works; and Let's
Visit Japaa.
Even the pre-schooler gets
the benefit of deeper ex
planations in his books A Is
for Apple and WHY.
If the small-fry wants space
and fantasy together, he has
Space Witch:
"Late one autumn after-j
noon Tilly Ipswitch, Queen ofs
Halloween, came f 1 y i n g t i
home on ber broomstick, car-1
rving a book called W h a t -Every
Space Traveler Ought!"
to Know. She had bought it'
at the planetarium where she j p
had been studying the stars."
Mary Mielenz, professor of!
secondary education, sug-
;tS .. .!... jfi
-aa a - - "v V V
Miss Mielenz
gested a reason for the fan
tasy to flight shift. "When
attitudes in adult life ap
proach space and internation
al problems, it naturally re
flects into children's litera
ture." "My seven-year-old now
prefers the 'science in your
own back yard' -books," said
Mrs. Mary Commers. sec
ondary school English teach
er. "Even pictures younger
children draw now are -of
rockets, jets and space men,"
she said.
sures children are bound to
" have an interest in these new
areas."
: The example of Davy
Crockett takes readers back
to pioneer days. "When tele-
I vision made Davy Crockett
j popular again, book publish-
ers had to reprint their
stories," Miss Mielenz point
ed out. Davy Crockett books,
Davy Crockett clothes and
Davy Crockett toys were in
great demand.
Relating this to the space
trend Miss Mielenz said,
"They're just phases."
At the City Library, Miss
Helen Davis, acting chil
dren's librarian, thinks fairy
tales are still popular with
the kids. From her observa
tions, "fantasy is probably
chosen as frequently as space
travel and other books."
The nutnber of children's
books at the main library
and its seven branches totals
44.943, according to Mrs.
Lillian Halberg, of the b
brary's technical processing
department
In the Junior Library col
lection on display at Love
Library, 600 books are ex
hibited for kindergartners to
young people. Of these only
25 are listed as fairy tales,
folklore or legends.
The odds in the '60's appear
Meanwhile. Miss Mielenz, to be aeainst fantasy. "But
said, "All this, doesn't mean j the classic fairy tales will
that fantasy is gone. It just
means that there is a wider
reader selection."
It's a "healthy sign" when
young folks read science
books, she said, "and with
television and parental pres-
always be in the class
rooms," Miss Mielenz said
like, "There once was a boy
named Jack and he liveJ
with his mother, a widow.
All they possessed was ona
old cow . . ."
