Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Best Stories to Tell to Children It is the belief of the publishers, here and in England, that some of the stories ought to be printed separately from these books on method, for the more ready ac cess of children themselves and those whose interest is of a wholly untechnical sort. This is the more de sirable because stories which are especially adapted to be told are equally charming for reading aloud or to one's self. The converse is not true: stories written to be read are rarely suitable for the story-teller's art until they have been skilfully adapted. In other words, those tales which can be and have been told with suc cess are in a sense the chosen few; they, of all the world's stories, are most charming to hear or to read.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories to Tell the Littlest Ones Gradually other loves have taken their place in the home-story world, and I have told my boy and girl many tales of many kinds, true, fairy, and foolish, as they call humorous stories, but they still love the one that begins with Peter Rabbit. Once in a while, in the long series Of days, some happy inspiration has given me a better thought than usual, and a real story has popped out of my mouth in place of the mediocre inventions of habit. These few real stories have been retold by request of the original audience, and told again to larger audiences many times. It has seemed to me that the best of them might prove of value to other teach ers and mothers of very, little children, for the demand is continuous, and the sup ply of material suitable for such tiny hearers is exceedingly small.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Famous Stories Every Child Should Know: A Selection of the Best Stories of All Times for Young People The prophecies of those fruitful years of research did not tell half the story of the wonderful things that were to be; the uses of electricity which are within easy reach for the most homely and practical purposes are as mysterious and magical as the dreams of the magicians. We are served by invisible ministers who are more powerful than the genii and more nimble than Puck. There has been a girdle around the world for many years; but there is good reason to believe that the time will come when news will go round the globe on waves of air. If we were not accustomed to ordering breakfast miles away from the grocer and the poulterer, we should be overcome with amazement every time we took up the telephone transmitter. Absolutely pure tones are now being made by the use of dynamos and will soon be sent into homes lying miles distant from the power house, so to speak, so that very sweet music is bein g played by are lights. The anticipations of scientific men, so far as the uses of force are concerned, have been surpassed by the wonder ful discoveries and applications of the past few years; but poetry and romance are not dead; on the contrary, they are more alive in the sense of awakening a wider interest than ever before in the history of writing. During the years which have been more fruitful in works of mechanical genius or dynamic energy, novels have been more widely distributed and more eagerly read than at any previousperiod. The poetry of the time, in the degree in which it has been fresh and vital, has been treated by newspapers as matter of universal interest. Men are born story-readers; if their interest subsides for the moment, or is absorbed by other forms of expression, it reasserts itself in due time and demands the old enchant ment that has woven its spell over every generation since men and women reached an early stage of development. Barbarians and even savages share with the most highly civilised peoples this passion for fiction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories for Children The object of this little book is to furnish a series of easy supplementary reading lessons for the youngest children at school. As soon as the pupils are able readily to recognize five or six of the most commonly used words, these stories may be given to them to read. The words may be taught from the blackboard, from reading charts, or by any other method which the teacher finds to be best and most practicable. They should be chosen with refer ence both to their ready comprehension by the children and to the order of their occurrence in the reading lessons. As the children progress in the ability to read, variety and interest will demand' that the vocabulary should increase with greater rapidity; and soon, instead of presenting only three or four new words at a time, the teacher need feel no fear but that twice as many, and even more, will be readily learned.
