Abstract

The aim of this work is to carry out an approach to different works of Children's and Young Adult Literature. Both are classics in this genre. Our interest focuses on three main elements: innocence, sadness and fantasy. It is our intention to make an approach to these two books, taking into account the three already mentioned elements. Literature for Children and Young Adult people has coincidences with reality and it is our desire to show some of this similarities. Salinger and Barrie wrote two books in which we can find interesting aspects of life regarding children and Adults. Because of this, we have to discuss whether these works are suitable for Children and Young Adult people or for Adults. In any case both, Peter Pan and Holden Cautfield are fiction characters related to Children's and Young Adult Literature and because of this we have to highlight innocence and fantasy as central points of this text.
