For one thing it has no children in it which is very unusual for a children's story. |
I had a look at that page when you mentioned it earlier and didn't think it sounded like a 'typical' children's book, but maybe it's something which was used as a book for introducing children to religious and political themes.
There aren't any children in the Biggles books, Shrek!, or The Hobbit, and they are all classed as children's books. That said, they are in the minority.
