Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Picture-Book of Merry Tales At the time we are speaking of it was the custom of the land that the godfathers and godmothers, together with the nurse and child, should adjourn, immediately after the christening, to an alehouse, there to enjoy themselves; and that part of the cere mony was not forgotten or neglected on this occa sion. Now it was a long way from the Church to the ale-house, and the day was very hot, so that the party indulged rather freely in the refreshing bever age, delaying their homeward journey as long as possible.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chinese Merry Tales Th object of translating the Chinese Merry Tales is to give the English-speaking public an insight to Chinese character, society, and humour. Of the last, the majority of Europeans think that the Chinese are lacking. I hope the Chinese students of the English language may derive some benefit from this book by comparing the translation with the original in Chinese. The author desires to acknowledge his indebtedness to Baron Guido Vitale, who collected and edited most of the tales in this book and brought them into Mandarin dialect.

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.

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.

Download or read book Merry Tales written by Eleanor L. Skinner and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories in this collection have been chosen, first, because they are stories children have always loved, and second, because they are free from much of the grewsome or grotesque which figures in so many of the folk tales and fables of the past. Although there are elements of surprise and danger in the adventures of the various characters, yet each story ends happily. The little book is intended as a supplementary reader for children in the third or fourth year of school and the vocabulary has been carefully graded to meet that need. Some of the stories have dramatic qualities and will be found to lend themselves readily to dramatization.This is edition with full color illustrations.

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.
