Answer 2

The tradition of chapbooks arose in the 16th century, as soon as printed books became affordable, and rose to its height during the 17th and 18th centuries. Many different kinds of ephemera and popular or folk literature were published as chapbooks, such as almanacs, children's literature, folk tales, ballads, nursery rhymes, pamphlets, poetry, and political and religious tracts.

The term "chapbook" for this type of literature was coined in the 19th century. The corresponding French and German terms are bibliothèque bleue (blue book) and Volksbuch (people's book), respectively. In Spain they were known as pliegos de cordel (Cordel sheets).

The term "chapbook" is also in use for present-day publications, commonly short, inexpensive booklets. HOPE IT WILL REALLY HELP YOU......!!!!!
