Book excerpt: Excerpt from Holiday Rambles, or Peeps Into the Book of Nature Oh' dear mamma, said George, springing into his mother's arms, how delighted I am to see you, and Agnes, and Helen, and all at my own dear home. After these mutual congratulations were ended, the boys found time to return the caresses of a beautiful Newfoundland dog, named Neptune. He was a great favourite, and expressed his delight by jumping upon his young masters, and rolling over and over a pretty little spaniel, called Rover, who was rather annoyed by the rough gambols of his companion. In due time, however, they quietly seated themselves to enjoy some refreshment after their journey, and to hear and relate what had happened during their absence.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Balderscourt, or Holiday Tales Leige fortune, named Wood, who had a numerous family of children of various ages, from five to seventeen. The house in which he resided was called Balderscourt, a huge rambling pile of building, the chief part of which was Elizabethan in style, though a square massive tower and gateway were said to be five hundred years older. The deep bay windows, pon derons chimneys, and multitudinous gables, gave it a very picturesque appearance from the outside. Inside it was better than picturesque, being airy, warm, and comfortable, as Elizabeth an houses gene rally are.

Download or read book A Christmas Story written by Jean Shepherd and published by Crown. This book was released on 2010-10-27 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beloved, bestselling classic of humorous and nostalgic Americana—the book that inspired the equally classic Yuletide film and the live musical on Fox. The holiday film A Christmas Story, first released in 1983, has become a bona fide Christmas perennial, gaining in stature and fame with each succeeding year. Its affectionate, wacky, and wryly realistic portrayal of an American family’s typical Christmas joys and travails in small-town Depression-era Indiana has entered our imagination and our hearts with a force equal to It’s a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street. This edition of A Christmas Story gathers together in one hilarious volume the gems of autobiographical humor that Jean Shepherd drew upon to create this enduring film. Here is young Ralphie Parker’s shocking discovery that his decoder ring is really a device to promote Ovaltine; his mother and father’s pitched battle over the fate of a lascivious leg lamp; the unleashed and unnerving savagery of Ralphie’s duel in the show with the odious bullies Scut Farkas and Grover Dill; and, most crucially, Ralphie’s unstoppable campaign to get Santa—or anyone else—to give him a Red Ryder carbine action 200-shot range model air rifle. Who cares that the whole adult world is telling him, “You’ll shoot your eye out, kid”? The pieces that comprise A Christmas Story, previously published in the larger collections In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash and Wanda Hickey’s Night of Golden Memories, coalesce in a magical fashion to become an irresistible piece of Americana, quite the equal of the film in its ability to warm the heart and tickle the funny bone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Zigzag Journeys in Europe: Vacation Rambles in Historic Lands HE aim of the publishers and writer, in preparing this volume for young people, is to give a view of the principal places in England and France where the most interesting events have occurred; and, by a free use of pictures and illustrative stories, to present historic views of the two countries in an entertain ing and attractive manner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rambles and Studies in Greece This book is distinctly a sentimental journey, omitting much that appeared to the writer ephemeral or commonplace, and delaying in the contemplation of those things which have made Greece Of paramount importance to cul tivated Europe. The lapse of years has made it necessary, to omit here and there a name, or even a prophecy which has not been fulfilled, but the main body of the book is as true now as it was a generation ago, and it has been a labour of love to endeavour to make its style more worthy Of its fascinating subject. From this point Of View there have been many changes made in this new edition Offered to the public to whom Greece is now accessible in an ordinary holiday time. But even to those that stay at home, it will serve as a carefully verified report of the scenery of a country which occupies so large a place in their education. The pictures of buildings and statues in the former editions have been omitted, because there is now ample facility for acquiring photographs of all the striking things here described. The main desire of the author has been not only to make the book better, but also cheaper and more. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
