Abstract

The research examines children novels with history genre published by Balai Pustakain 1976--1996. This research is conducted to find out the formula. This research stands on John G. Cawelti genre review. The results of the research show that children novels at Balai Pustaka use various formulas with the same basic theme –a fighting spirit to fight back colonial. The historical approach has strengthened Balai Pustaka’s children novels as generic fiction works. At that time, the children novels were built from the high tension between two worlds; ideal world and real world as imaginary world. There are different approaches in solving the problems from eachperiod, and authors, although most of the formula used have ‘failure’ because of the old composition and theme usage.
