Children's and young adult literature is that written and/or marketed primarily towards a juvenile audience. While some books are originally intended for a youthful audience, others become associated with children through marketing or tradition. Still others are "crossover" books, read by children and adults alike. Literature addressed directly to children arose in Western Europe in the late 17th century and early 18th century and became a very profitable industry in the 19th. Throughout its 300-year history, children's stories have reflected the values of the societies that produced them.
