History, magistra vitae, is traditionally linked with children’s literature, both as the subject of course books, enriched with
images and chronologies, and as narration, portraying events or characters / heroes / protagonists of a given historical period. In
both instances, such relationship functions through the “emplotment” described by Hayden White as essential to the
discursive nature of all texts – history included.
