Childhood (1852) is the first book of an autobiographical trilogy (with Adolescence and Youth), where Tolstoy explores the world of childhood through the eyes of a ten-year-old boy, Nikolinka Irtenjev – innocence, joys, sorrows and first traumas.
J. B. S. Haldane (1892–1964), a British geneticist, evolutionary biologist, and science popularizer, wrote "My Friend Mr. Leakey" in 1937 – a collection of five humorous, fantastic stories for children (and adults).
The novel emphasizes how even good can have bad consequences when taken out of proportion, and that responsibility, morality, and honesty are more important than wealth itself.
