Today’s seniors are the last generation that was brought up in book culture and whose childhood was free of the dominant presence of mass media. On the other hand, the contemporary youth is surrounded by new technologies almost from birth and book is often merely one of many media they access. The aim of the paper is to examine children’s book characters from the perspective of two generations – grandparents’ and grandchildren’s – with different lecture experiences and media competences. The study will include an analysis of the statements made by students of the University of the Third Age in Wrocław and students of the Institute of Library and Information Science at the University of Wrocław. The characters known from school as well as extra curricular reading will be presented and readers’ attachment to them and their fates will be described in the text. The paper will seek to highlight different ways of regarding childhood literary characters as well as common choices of children’s book heroes.

Senior citizens today make up the last generation whose childhood passed without significant mass media consumption. It is a generation that was raised to respect the written word and the sanctity of books. This article presents an analysis of statements made by students of the Third Age University in Wroclaw about their childhood reading experiences, especially in relation to their emotional reactions to the most popular works of fiction from their childhood and the emotional relationships they forged with literary characters and their fates. The emotional circumstances of reading were also discussed, as well as the circumstance of first readings or community readings, emotional attachment to books as objects, e.g. gifted books or inaccessible books, and finally sentimental returns to youthful reading.
