Excerpt: ... fitted, that there was not a chink for so much as a spider to hide himself. It was almost a miracle that the mice escaped, and at last got to a dark, dirty hole in some wainscot, where the town-mouse was accustomed to sleep. Come, said he to his guest, I dare say you are tired; you will stay snug here to-night. Not a minute, said the country-mouse, that 1 can help! As soon as every thing is once more quiet, I will take my leave of cities and ministers of state for ever. I dare say I shall not recover the fright I have been in for a fortnight. Give me a temperate life and a safe one. I shall thank you, the longest day I have to live, for the lesson you have taught me. I shall go home now, and know, better than ever I did before, the blessings of a hollow tree and a crust of bread. FABLE XI. THE MISER AND HIS TREASURE. A Poor man once scraped together by little and little a sum of fifty guineas. It was all got by the labour of nisown bands, and I believe it was some years before he had made it so much. In the village where he lived they had known him from a boy, and a smart, merry boy he was. He was always laughing from morning till night. This was certainly laughing too much; but the boy meant no harm, and every body laughed with him. Poor fellow, he had never learned to read or write; he thought he had no chance to be wise; he had heard something about merry and wise; and as he could not be wise, he determined to be merry, that he might be sure to be something. Well, when he was about twenty or thirty years old, the fancy took him, that he would save a penny or two-pence a day, till he had got fifty guineas. If he saved only two-pence a day he must have been fifteen years about it; but I believe he got some presents, and a little matter...

Excerpt: ...One day he said he would treat his friends with an account of his adventures in the island of Rhodes. He described to them the Colossus oi Rhodes, one of the seven wonders of the world, that had its two feet on the two moles of the harbour, so that ships in full sail could pass between its legs; it had a winding stair-case within, by which you could climb up to the chamber of the head, and look out at the windows of the eyes; and few men were so tall, that they could make their two arms meet round the thickness of its thumb. I do not know that the traveller told any fibs about the Colossus; it was not easysto make it in description more extraordinary than 'it was in reality.. The traveller observed that the Rhodians particularly excelled in leaping: no natiop in the woxild could leap like them. There were two_persons principally in Rhodes, when he came, that could beat the rest: but he (letermined to try;' and in his first attempt he found he could outleap the In both. I believe he said that he had leaped forty yards on level ground. A grave old gentlenan who was sitting by, turned up his nose with a sneer, and said, Now 1 like this story better than any that you have told us before. You must know that there are some young fellows in our town, who are impertinent enough to doubt of the truth of your stories. But you shall convince them in this instance, and l will insist upon their believing all the rest. There are no spring-boards, I suppose, in Rhodes; indeed you told us your leap was performed on common ground. I will therefore measure out the length for you, and you shall exhibit the same leap here that you did in Rhodes. The traveller was confounded at this proposal: and before the words were well utteil, slunk out of the...

Download or read book Children s Literature written by M.O. Grenby and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2008-04-17 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This critical guide provides a concise yet comprehensive history of British and North American children's literature from its seventeenth-century origins to the present day. Each chapter focuses on one of the main genres of children's literature: fables, fantasy, adventure stories, moral tales, family stories, the school story, and poetry. M. O. Grenby shows how these forms have evolved over three hundred years as well as asking why most children's books, even today, continue to fall into one or other of these generic categories. Why, for instance, has fantasy been so appealing to both Victorian and twenty-first-century children? Are the religious and moral stories written in the eighteenth century really so different from the teenage problem novels of today? The book answers questions like these with a combination of detailed analysis of particular key texts and a broad survey of hundreds of children's books, both famous and forgotten.
