there does seem to be an ecosystem of children’s books and entertainment that transitions to young adult books/entertainment and for the offspring of the upper middle class and better that sheltered, comfortable reality where things are mostly safe, where everything exists to teach you a positive life lesson, might as well be the reality you live in until your parents privilege buys for you an affluent adulthood

At least in 90s Britain there was also an ecosystem of harrowing children’s books which teach you the world is cruel and free of justice, which were the ones my parents would buy me.
