The influential absurd works in British and American literature include Waiting for Godot by Beckett, One Hundred Years of Solitude by Marquez, and Professor Tarana of Eunucus, most of which reflect the life of adults.
There are also many absurd literary works that reflect children's spiritual world: Alice in Wonderland, which Victorian children admire and like most; Daughter of the Sea, which is full of joy, mystery and beauty in the underwater world; Dalin and Kobayashi, which reflect the absurd world life of the disparity between the rich and the poor; Little Red Riding Hood, which is kind and lovely; and Snow White, which comes back from the dead after being robbed many times and finally lives a happy life. The story of fishermen and goldfish whose greed is never satisfied can only be matched with a broken wooden basin, an honest little boy uncovering the emperor's new clothes, and the fantastic Wizard of Oz, which is popular all over the world, Pinocchio by The Journey to the West and Claudie, and The Witch's Home Help by Eiko Kadono.
Using absurd artistic techniques, these children's literature strives to change and create a colorful and strange artistic realm, full of grotesque fantasy, lively artistic conception and innocent childlike interest, arousing the reverie of children and even adults, and allowing readers to better develop their imaginative nature while enjoying aesthetic pleasure. The lively and lovely images in children's literature, with clear distinction between right and wrong and strong sense of justice, are deeply imprinted in children's readers' minds. This paper attempts to explore the embodiment of absurd beauty in absurd children's literature and the reasons why children favor absurd children's literature.
