Book excerpt: Excerpt from Child Life in Prose The unexpectedly favorable reception of the poetical compilation entitled "Child Life" has induced its publishers to call for the preparation of a companion volume of prose stories and sketches, gathered, like the former, from the literature of widely separated nationalities and periods. Illness, preoccupation, and the inertia of unelastic years would have deterred me from the undertaking, but for the assistance which I have had from the lady whose services are acknowledged in the preface to "Child Life." I beg my young readers, therefore, to understand that I claim little credit for my share in the work, since whatever merit it may have is largely due to her taste and judgment. It may be well to admit, in the outset, that the book is as much for child-lovers, who have not outgrown their child-heartedness in becoming mere men and women, as for children themselves; that it is as much about childhood, as for it. If not the wisest, it appears to me that the happiest people in the world are those who still retain something of the child's creative faculty of imagination, which makes atmosphere and color, sun and shadow, and boundless horizons, out of what seems to prosaic wisdom most inadequate material, - a tuft of grass, a mossy rock, the rain-pools of a passing shower, a glimpse of sky and cloud, a waft of west-wind, a bird's flutter and song. For the child is always something of a poet; if he cannot analyze, like Wordsworth and Tennyson, the emotions which expand his being, even as the fulness of life bursts open the petals of a flower, he finds with them all Nature plastic to his eye and hand. The soul of genius and the heart of childhood are one. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Child Life and Literature The aim of this book is to call the teacher's attention to the choice of material in literature best suited to the nature and needs of elementary school pupils. To this end a gen eral survey is made of the field of child psychology, and a course in reading and literature is developed in harmony with the dominant mental characteristics and natural ih terests of children. It is gratifying to notice a tendency on the part of educa tional authorities to enlarge the school curriculum in liter ature. School readers alone must fail to interest children in reading. Complete units should be presented instead of extracts. Every phase of child life should be reflected; and all material should possess true literary merit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Child Life in Tale and Fable: A Second Reader A taste for good reading is an essential part of an education. To develop this taste, while helping the child to learn to read, this book has been prepared. It is important, in the beginning, that the child should like What he reads, and that the lessons should not be so difficult as to mar his pleasure in reading. For this reason great care has been taken to make attractive lessons, Within the child's ability to read and understand. The stories, as the name of the book suggests, have been carefully selected from the legends, tales, and fables, which, by their genuineness and truth to life, have come to form a literature for children. The longer selections have been divided into parts of sufficient length for one lesson. By doing this it has been possible to introduce versions and adaptations of tales of real classical value. The more difficult words are placed at the head of the lessons, and are marked for pronunciation. A key to these marks is given and should be carefully studied.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dream Life for Children A very sad face indeed had dear little Charlie this morning. Out into the great world he looked and longed; but no, there was no hope, no sun shine; and Charlie's lovely blue eyes almost filled with tears; and little gasps came un willingly from his throat; and he clutched Eliza tightly with his left hand to make sure that the housekeeper hadn't spirited her away also. Eliza was not his little sister, for Charlie had no little sister, nor little brother, and no mother, and almost no father - or so it seemed to Charlie, for his father was usually away when he was awake. So a very sad little boy he had reason to be, only that he was healthy, and bright and sunny in temperament, and was used to his lonely life; and with Tom and Eliza for company he was generally happy. But Tom was gone! And Eliza had so little to say. Now, Eliza was - yes, you've guessed it, a doll. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Story of a Child Classic Reprint written by Margaret Deland and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-16 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Story of a Child is written by the American novelist, short story writer, and poet Margaret Deland. Through her writing, Deland promoted and engaged in the literary realism movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. This movement encouraged authors to write about contemporary life and society as they knew it in the spirit of creating realism in novels and other forms of writing as opposed to the more romanticized or sensationalized works that society had become accustomed to reading. Truly a master of the style, Deland's narrative is compelling and realistic enough to convince even the most skeptical reader. In this novel, Deland explores what it was like to grow up in late nineteenth century America in the confines of what, on the surface, appears to be a normal family. But no life is without conflict, and true to her exploration of realism, Deland tackles the conflict within her setting head on without apology. Only by overcoming their major conflicts can the family prove that it's the ties that bind are always the strongest. Even the oddest family members have their moments at center stage in an effort to come to the aid of the rest of the family in this most difficult of changes. Deland's ability to establish engaging and exciting characters remains unmatched to this day, and as a result this book stands out as a very significant piece of American literature. The Story of a Child is an American novel written during the literary realism movement and echoes the beliefs of that movement. Deland creates an interesting glimpse into the late 1800s family and the challenges this family, especially the growing children, must face. This book is an engaging and entertaining read for anyone interested in realistic novels, history, and classic literature.

It is the growth of a life-time, based on happy hours in School and Sunday school, Study-hours with great teachers, Debating Clubs, Teachers' meetings, and conferences with un worldly women and great men.
