Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of Passed Times There were once a King and Queen, who were very unhappy at not having any children, more unhappy than words can tell. Vows, pilgrimages, everything was tried, but nothing was Of any avail; at length, however, a little daughter was born to them. There was a splendid christening. For god mothers, they gave the young Princess all the fairies they could find in the country - they were seven in number - in order that each making her a gift, according to the custom Of fairies in those days, the Princess might, by these means, become possessed, of all imaginable perfections. When the ceremony was Over, all the company returned to the King's palace, where a great banquet had been prepared for the fairies. The table was magnificently laid for them, and each had placed for her a massive gold case, containing a spoon, a fork, and a knife Of fine gold, set with diamonds and rubies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from When I Was a Little Girl: Stories for Children IN winter afternoons, before the lamps are lighted, and when the red flames make many a flickering shadow upon the curtained windows, the children gather round me, and ask me to tell them stories of the time when I was a little girl. That time is far off now, but I remember it very well. Nay, sometimes I think the farther it slips away into the past, the more entirely is its memory given into my keeping, the more freshly and clearly do those early days stand out beyond the already dimmed and fading pictures of later years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales for Children This delicate reproof of Harry's had the effect that he intended it should have: Mr. Weston walked immediately to the counting-house, with an intention of regulating his business, and giving such necessary orders to his clerks as should enable him, without inconvenience to himself, to accompany his wife, and the little folks to Croydon fair on the following day. Having made this arrangement to his satisfaction, he called, in his way home, at the White Lion, and ordered a glass coach to be at his house by ten o'clock in the morning. After dinner he acquainted the family with what he had been doing for their pleasure, and hoped that no unforeseen circumstance would occur to disappoint them of their jaunt. "I wish I was as certain of a thousand a year," said Harry Weston, "as I am of going to Croydon to-morrow."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from For the Children's Hour In nearly every case it has been found necessary to adapt the stories to the immediate use of the story teller, whether kindergartner or mother. They have been shortened, and only such salient facts retained as will result in clear mental concepts, and make the stories easily told without undue taxing of the child's attention. A large place has been given to the fanciful tale, which has a direct educational value in the training of the imagination; and the accumulative repetition story, which develops the child's sense of humor, and appeals to his instinctive love of rhyme and jingle.

Download or read book Stories and Tales Classic Reprint written by Hans Christian and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories and Tales The present volume of Hans Christian Andersen's "Stories ind Tales" is the complement of the volume entitled "Wonder Stories told for Children." It was found impossible to bring all of his shorter stories and fancies within the compass of a single volume, and in making the division some regard was had to that which he has himself several times pointed out, - that his stories are sometimes pure inventions of fancy and sometimes have their root in historic incidents or events, and scenes of which he has been cognizant. At the same time, any one who made the attempt to separate these writings exactly upon such a line would find, as Andersen himself has said, that after all one must accept the undiscriminating term of popular usage and call them all stories. Thus the companion volume is not all fancy, and this is not all fact; the elements are mingled, and reasons of convenience have sometimes caused a manifest departure from the rule laid down. Still, in a rough way, the two volumes do each represent strongly one and the other of these elements. In the twenty-seventh volume of his "Collected Writings, Andersen has given a number of notes with a view to presenting briefly the origin and succession of his lesser stones. As such comments by an author on his own work are never devoid of interest, it has been thought expedient to reproduce hem in this place. At Christmas, 1829, there was published a little collection of poems, which closed with a wonder story given in prose, "The Ghost"; it was one which I had heard as a child, and now told in a manner something like Musaeus, but it did not take until several years after, when it appeared in another shape as "The Travelling Companion."

There, in place of my nurse, who generally came to fetch me, I saw a stout, comely member of the Society of Friends; she was eating cake and wine with imperturbable gravity, and, when she had set down her glass, and smoothed out her gown upon her lap, she held out her hand, and said pleasantly.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jack O'health and Peg Ojoy a Fairy-Tale My life is a beautiful fairy-tale, said Hans Christian Andersen, and out of its realities no less than its imagin ings, he wrote his immortal stories for children. Contes d'andersen stands side by side with Contes de Fees of Charles Perrault and Madame d'aulnoy on the shelves of the children's libraries which have been recently opened in northern France.

And the great boughs arched over like the roof of some grand cathedral; and the wind made music there; and the light played in and out among the leaves, leaping through the green windows, chas ing the wind. When the wind blew through the leaves, in came the light; and the wind shouted out, and the light laughed; and then the birds sang as if they were play mates too; and the children laughed, enjoy ing the forest pleasures. And the forest was so full of all sweet sounds, - the glad voices of happy creatures!
