| contents | <p>This paper surveys the development of imaginative expression in Singapore children’s literature in English from 1965 to 2005, tracing how writers have used fantasy, folklore, and localized storytelling to reflect the nation’s evolving cultural identity. It examines key authors, themes, and narrative strategies that have shaped the imaginative landscape of children’s books during this forty-year period, highlighting the tension between didacticism and creativity in a postcolonial context. By situating these works within Singapore’s educational and socio-political framework, the study reveals how imagination has grown from a tool of moral instruction to a means of cultural self-discovery and artistic innovation.</p> |
