Are there any literary works that focus on the lives of children/adolescents? The only ones I can think of are Catcher in the Rye and Lord of the Flies - any others? Or does anything concerning young people inevitably end up getting lumped in with YA?

Nabokov is great for evoking childhood nostalgia e.g. in the early chapters of Ada or the Luzhin defense or his autobiography

Tolstoy's three-part autobiography is what you're looking for.

There's always Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. I wouldn't be surprised if Twain wrote other stories about young children, too.
