Download or read book Quaint Old Stories to Read and Act Classic Reprint written by Marion Florence Lansing and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Quaint Old Stories to Read and Act Much of the best traditional literature is essentially dramatic. Animals meet and talk, kings discourse with their subjects, rich men and poor men bring their cases before wise judges, fairies in disguise search the hearts of men by their questions, and even the pot and the kettle converse. To meet the call for dramatic material for children's use, thirty stories have been gathered from the literature of all countries, and set in dramatic form for reading and acting. They are not plays, though many of them could easily be staged. They are, as the title indicates, quaint old stories, in which so much of the action is carried on by conversation that it has needed only a retouching to make them dramatic in form as well as in spirit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eleanor Estes's The Hundred Dresses won a Newbery Honor in 1945 and has never been out of print since. At the heart of the story is Wanda Petronski, a Polish girl in a Connecticut school who is ridiculed by her classmates for wearing the same faded blue dress every day. Wanda claims she has one hundred dresses at home, but everyone knows she doesn't and bullies her mercilessly. The class feels terrible when Wanda is pulled out of the school, but by that time it's too late for apologies. Maddie, one of Wanda's classmates, ultimately decides that she is "never going to stand by and say nothing again." This powerful, timeless story has been reissued with a new letter from the author's daughter Helena Estes, and with the Caldecott artist Louis Slobodkin's original artwork in beautifully restored color.
