The idea
The Victorian period saw a golden age of children's literature. Carroll's Alice, of eighteen sixty-five, signalled a change toward imaginative writing for children; Charles Kingsley's The Water-Babies, Stevenson's Treasure Island and Christina Rossetti's verse for children followed.
In practice
Alice, The Water-Babies, Treasure Island.
Where people slip
