SPIRITUAL-EDUCATIONAL INTERPRETATION OF MYSTIC IMAGES IN UZBEKISTAN AND ENGLISH CHILDREN'S LITERATURE (COMPARED WITH THE WORKS OF KHUDOYBERDI TOKHTABOYEV AND SUSAN HILL)
This article analyzes the spiritual-educational interpretation of mystical images in Uzbek and English children's literature in a
comparative manner. Khudoyberdi Toktaboyev's work "Riding the Yellow Giant" and Susan Hill's novel "I'm the King of the
Castle" were chosen as the objects of research. The purpose of the research is to identify the spiritual-educational ideas expressed
through mystical images in these works and to shed light on their artistic interpretation in a comparative manner. The results of the
analysis show that mystical images in children's literature are not only a means of artistic depiction, but also an important
educational factor serving to form the spiritual and moral views of the younger generation.
