Abstract

 Mythological elements were widely used as the main ideological and aesthetic tool in 20th-century children's literature. Especially in English and Uzbek literature, mythological images are used to instill in children values such as kindness, courage, friendship, and justice. This article presents a comparative typological analysis of mythological novels for children in 20th-century English and Uzbek literary traditions. It explores common narrative typologies, functions of mythic elements, and cultural strategies of adaptation. Drawing on genre theory and comparative literary methodology, the study delineates how mythic narratives in both traditions shape children’s cognitive and moral development. The analysis highlights patterns of appropriation, moral didacticism, and national identity, revealing both convergences and divergences in mythological representation.
