Distinctive Mythological Features in English Children's Literature

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: This article explores the peculiarities of mythological elements in English children's literature. It focuses on how mythology – especially Celtic, Norse, and Christian motifs – shapes the narrative structures, characters, and symbolic systems of children’s fiction in England. Special attention is given to works such as The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis and Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling. The study reveals that myth in English children’s literature serves not only as a narrative tool but also as a medium of moral, cultural, and spiritual education.
