Abstract: This master's thesis explores the presentation of nature and environmental issues in British environmental literature for children from the 20th and 21st centuries. In the theoretical part of the thesis, we outline the historical development of children’s environmental literature in Great Britain and the importance of environmental storytelling as well as examine the role of anthropomorphism in children's books. We also define ecocriticism and framing theory as two approaches that are used in the analysis of the representation of nature and environmental concerns in the selected works. Through a close reading of the selected children’s books, we trace the historical evolution of British children's environmental literature across three periods: the first two decades of the 20th century
