4.Describe travel adventure works in children’s literature around the world. - When parents are away, you can bet an adventure is going to happen. In some of the most famous children’s classics of all time, an adventure might be found at the bottom of a rabbit hole, across the ocean on a treasure island, or even in an ordinary-looking wardrobe. In J M Barrie’s Peter Pan and Wendy (1911), the dream worlds of the Darling children come true when the boy who never grows up convinces them to fly away to Never Land, a place where pirates, mermaids and fairies live together on an island. What these adventures all have in common is that they begin with a journey, one that only children can take part in.
- Journeys big and small
- Journeys come in all shapes and sizes. Some books contain journeys so epic that that they take your breath away. In Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials series (1995–2000), Lyra Belacqua journeys from Oxford to the Arctic and steps into parallel universes, encountering armoured polar bears, witches and other magic along the way. True events, rather than fantasy, inspired the Arctic voyages in Catherine Johnson’s Race to the Frozen North: The Matthew Henson Story (2018). Born in 1866, Matthew Henson was an American explorer and the first man to reach the North Pole. The book is narrated from his perspective, giving a voice to his experiences and achievements which were ignored for many years because of the colour of his skin.
- Many adventure stories, like Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island (1883), are accompanied by maps that chart the journeys inside the book, blurring the lines between fact and fiction. In the case of Stevenson’s tale, the story itself was actually inspired by a map drawn by his stepson, Lloyd Osbourne. Stevenson was so intrigued by the boy’s drawing that he quickly began writing on the spot and finished 15 chapters within a fortnight!
