One might argue that the best literature for a child might be one with a moral or lesson. British novelist Fay Weldon certainly agrees with this, and it shows in the following statement made by him; “The writers, I do believe, who get the best and most lasting response from readers are the writers who offer a happy ending through moral development. By a happy ending, I do not mean mere fortunate events – a marriage or a last minute rescue from death – but some kind of spiritual reassessment, or moral reconciliation, even with the self, even at death.†Certainly these novels are most popular. Just to name a few, Lord of the Flies by William Golding, the classic tale of man and his killer instinct, Night by Elie Wiesel, the autobiography of a Jewish boy during the holocaust, and A Separate Peace by John Knowles, a story showing the greedy, and perhaps traitorous nature of the man, cleverly disguised beneath the cover of a private school. These are just a few novels that fall into the category of “happy endings,†although their outcome may have indeed been melancholy. Lord of the Flies, Night, and A Separate Peace are all examples of literature disguised as a life lesson.
