まんがこども文庫

まんがこどもぶんこ

Aired: 1978 - 1979

A TV anime of children's literature broadcast on the TBS network, an omnibus that adapts famous fairy tales and stories from Japan and around the world in one or a few self-contained episodes. Choosing well-known folk tales and fables as its subject each time, it is characterized by a strongly educational structure aimed at giving children an entry point to reading and the joy of stories. Condensing morals and emotion into short runtimes, it introduces the world of classic works with art and narration of differing flavor in each episode. It is a broadcast-culturally significant work that widened the doorway to children's literature through television.
