This paper is to examine the process and logic of canonization of Children’s Literature in the 1970s’ Korean Children’s Literature Collection. In particular, the analysis of paratext in the collection was the major research method. As a result, 1970s’ Korean Children’s Literature Collection displayed interpretations strong in expertise and autonomy such as literary history. The Interpretation Cannon of Children’s Literature was systematized through the era of collections from the 1960s through 70s playing a role of distributing symbolic value to individual texts contained in the collections. However, the predominant intellectual discourse of Children’s Literature in that time focused on pure, classic literary theories. The canonization works of Interpretation Cannon of the 1970s include the classification of the Japanese Colonial Era as the period of enlightening cultural movement and the era after Liberation as the period of full-fledged literary movement. Also, it involved finding works meeting the level of children’s story as an art of poetic trance and awarding their value to them.
