Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mary the Merry: And Other Tales For the poor rich may be debarred from the realms of happiness, but when they see its hue they know to appreciate it. As has been said once too often, many a rose would have died untouched if not for the bee. Which, however, must not take us away from our story. It is for mere atmosphere, probably, that I happen to bring in these sweet elements. But now, for the sake of a little symbolism let us take the conclusion of the story of Mary the Merry, and see if you could discover all these elements there. Mary the Merry, like her father, worked at the great National institution, I mean the Woolen Mills. And when Mary was seventeen she had been there for four years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Merry Tales for Children: Best Stories of Humor for Boys and Girls Then the expressman came and loaded all the family's furniture and dishes and pictures and trunks into his wagon. And Mother and Bob and Betty told Father good-bye, because he was going to join them at the new house just as soon as he could. They boarded the train, and it carried them a long way, and then they stopped at a very small, green town. Theirs was a tiny little home, set in a coun try lane that was far away from the town. NO one had lived in it for a long time, and the dusty windows looked like sleepy eyes, and the scraggly Vines, trying to grow over the lit tle front porch, made Bob think of a stray terrier that needed to have his hair cut. Grass and weeds grew up through the brick wall, and the gate hinge was broken. But the walls of the little home were of warm red brick, and there were swallows twittering under the eaves. The sun made a yellow carpet in the living room, and when the furniture came it fitted in just as if it had always lived there.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chinese Merry Tales Here was a man who was about to leave home. He directed his son thus: When I am away, if anyone enquire after your respected elder (father) you may reply thus My father has gone out; please come in and have some tea. As the son was rather stupid, the father, fearing he might forget, wrote down these few sentences on a piece of paper and handed it to his son. His son put the paper in his sleeve. When he has occasion to use it, he would secretly take out the paper and have a peep at it. For three days no one came to enquire after his father. The son said The writing is no earthly use. That night he burnt the paper before the lamp. When the fourth day came, a visitor happened to call and asked Where is your respected elder? The son searched his sleeve for half a day and could not find the paper. He told the visitor: It is lost. (mu liao also means dead). When the visitor heard these words, he was much surprised and replied When did he die I burned him (it) last night, the son replied.

Download or read book A Merry Christmas written by Louisa May Alcott and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-10-08 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of five beloved Christmas classics A Merry Christmas collects the treasured holiday tales of Louisa May Alcott, from the dearly familiar Yuletide benevolence of Marmee and her “little women” to the timeless “What Love Can Do,” wherein the residents of a boarding house come together to make a lovely Christmas for two poor girls. Wildly popular at the time of their publication—readers deluged Alcott with letters demanding sequels—and drawing on Alcott’s family and experiences in the abolitionist and women’s suffrage movements, these stories have the authentic texture and detail of Christmas in nineteenth-century America, while their emphasis on generosity and charity make them timeless embodiments of the Christmas spirit. Penguin Christmas Classics Give the gift of literature this Christmas. Penguin Christmas Classics honor the power of literature to keep on giving through the ages. The five volumes in the series are not only our most beloved Christmas tales, they also have given us much of what we love about the holiday itself. A Christmas Carol revived in Victorian England such Christmas hallmarks as the Christmas tree, holiday cards, and caroling. The Yuletide yarns of Anthony Trollope popularized throughout the British Empire and around the world the trappings of Christmas in London. The holiday tales of Louisa May Alcott shaped the ideal of an American Christmas. The Night Before Christmas brought forth some of our earliest Christmas traditions as passed down through folk tales. And The Nutcracker inspired the most famous ballet in history, one seen by millions in the twilight of every year.

Download or read book A Hundred Merry Tales written by William Carew Hazlitt and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-25 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Hundred Merry Tales: The Earliest English Jest-Book Here may be some, who will attach value and interest to the singular old volume, now first reproduced in exact imitation of the original, on account of the casual mention of it by Shakespear in one of his plays; but I hope and think that many more will welcome its appearance on another and higher ground, and will become of opinion that, where a solitary copy of such a relic as the earliest est-book in the national tongue of England is only to be found in a foreign repository, and is liable to destruction at any moment, the survival, not of its mere substance alone, but of its very identity, in the shape of a facsimile, is one of those minor duties, which we owe to sue ceeding generations. In the good former days, a gentleman who did his friends and the public the favour of reprinting a curious old book, was re garded as a sort of benefactor by a few who knew a little about the matter, and by the greater number, who knew nothing, he was considered a person of elegant tastes and of liberal disposi tion for he usually engaged in the speculation on his own responsibility. The case is now altogether altered, and any one who proposes to give to the world a new edition of an old book or tract, is in peril of being received as a Frenchman receives the news of his third child, unless he can make out a pretty strong plea for his proceeding. He must bring his justification in his hand. The burden of proof is upon him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from All About the Merry Tales of Gotham The reasons that prompted me to take up the present work may be thus set forth First, a predilection for local history, etc., which must otherwise have found an outlet in some kindred study. Second, the circumstance that the wide-famed Tales, once to be found scat tered broadcast over these islands, in chap book form are not now obtainable, except in bibliographical works dealing with them among divers other matters, and even these works are mostly or entirely out of print. Third, the tales have never yet been edited, or even seriously looked into, so far as I can find, by one acquainted with the history, etc., of the neighbourhood to which they relate.
