Download or read book THE ANIMAL STORY BOOK 63 true stories about animals written by Anon E. Mouse and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2018-09-11 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herein are 63 illustrated true stories about animals which every child will enjoy! In this book you will find stories about bears, otters, eagles, horses, dogs, dolphins, ants, frogs, elephants, parrots, snakes, lions, Cayman, weasels and many, many more besides. "The Animal Story Book" will delight both old and young, as one may find therein pen-portraits of most of the remarkable animals that have interested the world since primitive times. Herein are stories like: Saï The Panther The Buzzard And The Priest A Rat’s Tale The Dog Of Montargis The Taming of an Otter The Adventures Of Pyramus The Dancing Dog Monkey Stories The War Horse Of Alexander Madame Théophile And The Parrot plus many, many more. The 66 pen and ink illustrations by H J Ford give added life to the stories. Unlike his fairy collections, these tales compiled by Andrew Lang are all "true" with some species descriptions coming from nature journals of the time and others being more personal memoir/anecdote type stories of individual's pets. Not as well known today, was that the author Alexandre Dumas maintained a veritable menagerie, as did the artist Alexandre-Gabriel Decamps, and Andrew Lang has featured many stories about the various animals in their menageries. But, if anyone believes that style does not appeal to the young readers, let him open this book and read to any intelligent child of nine years Dumas’ description of Mysouf the cat, and Pritchard the dog. ============= KEYWORDS/TAGS: Children’s stories, Childrens, Folklore, Fairy, Folk, Tales, bedtime story, legends, storyteller, fables, moral tales, myths, happiness, laughter, Animal, story book, Andrew Lang, H J Ford, H.

Book excerpt: Children who have read our Fairy Books may have noticed that there are not so very many fairies in the stories after all. The most common characters are birds, beasts, and fishes, who talk and act like Christians. The reason of this is that the first people who told the stories were not very clever, or, if they were clever, they had never been taught to read and write, or to distinguish between Vegetable, Animal, and Mineral. They took it that all things were ‘much of a muchness:’ they were not proud, and held that beast and bird could talk like themselves, only, of course, in a different language. After offering, then, so many Fairy Books (though the stories are not all told yet), we now present you (in return for a coin or two) with a book about the friends of children and of fairies—the beasts. The stories are all true, more or less, but it is possible that Monsieur Dumas and Monsieur Théophile Gautier rather improved upon their tales. I own that I have my doubts about the bears and serpents in the tales by the Baron Wogan. This gentleman’s ancestors were famous Irish people. One of them held Cromwell’s soldiers back when they were pursuing Charles II. after Worcester fight. He also led a troop of horse from Dover to the Highlands, where he died of a wound, after fighting for the King. The next Wogan was a friend of Pope and Swift; he escaped from prison after Preston fight, in 1715, and, later, rescued Prince Charlie’s mother from confinement in Austria, and took her to marry King James. He next became Governor of Don Quixote’s province, La Mancha, in Spain, and was still alive and merry in 1752. Baron Wogan, descended from these heroes, saw no longer any king to fight for, so he went to America and fought bears. No doubt he was as brave as his ancestors, but whether all his stories of serpents are absolutely correct I am not so certain. People have also been heard to express doubts about Mr. Waterton and the Cayman. The terrible tale of Mr. Gully and his deeds of war I know to be accurate, and the story of Oscar, the sentimental tyke, is believed in firmly by the lady who wrote it. As for the stories about Greek and Roman beasts, Pliny, who tells them, is a most respectable author. On the whole, then, this is more or less of a true story-book.

This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever been to a circus where the seal plays the bass drum, the monkey plays the violin, the elephant plays the cello and the kangaroo plays the bassoon! Well, at least the camel doesn’t play the didgeridoo – or does he?. This is a circus where the ring master is a tiger and the lion-tamer is, well, a lion! Well you’ll get all this and more at the Spangleland Circus in “The Adventures of Diggeldy Dan.” Too-Bo-Tan sends a speaking messenger bird to Diggeldy Dan the clown. The bird tells him that after the circus is over and everyone has gone home and the circus folk are in their tents and caravans, that after dinner they will all fall asleep – except for Diggeldy Dan, who must hide in the round white tent that stands in the center of all the bigger tents, and wait for the messenger who will come out of the west.’ Dan does this and when the messenger arrives, his adventures begin. What are the adventures you ask? Well you’ll have to download and read this book for yourself to find out. 10% of the profit from the sale of this book, and all the books Abela Publishing publishes, will be donated to charities

This book was released on 2018-08-30 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All the stories in this book contain lessons; they teach something about cooking and sewing, knitting and crocheting, housekeeping and gardening, and first-aid—and tell a story, too; but The Mary Frances Story Book is all story, in fact 37 exquisitely illustrated stories. Jane Eyre Fryer has drawn these stories from many sources and retold them in her way. On a summer afternoon Mary Frances took a holiday and sailed away across the blue water to an island—an island formed by the top of a coral mountain resting in a sea of blue—a brighter blue than the water anywhere in the world. The island itself and the roofs of the houses were coral white, with palm, banana and mahogany tree encased in green. The breezes that blew are the warm, soft breezes of the southern sun. This island is the “enchanted island” of the good story-tellers which Mary Frances, and now all children, are allowed to visit. The story people who live there believed in truth and beauty, and courage and kindness, and these are the theme of all their stories. As may be imagined, when Mary Frances came home she had not only one, but many new stories to tell; and they are now written in this book. This volume is sure to keep you and your young ones enchanted for hours, if not because of the quantity, then their quality. They will have you coming back for more time and again. ============ KEYWORDS/TAGS: fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, children’s stories, childrens stories, bygone era, fairydom, fairy kingdom, ethereal, fairy land, classic stories, children’s bedtime stories, happy place, happiness, laughter, Sea Shore, Ferry, Pirate’s Cat, the Lost Story, Land Ahoy, Old Witch, Iron Chain, Curtain, Search, Find, Chase, Punishment, The Bubble Story, Anon, First Day, Mischievous, Anna, Peter Diamonds, Toads, Macé’s Fairy Tales, Magic Necklace, Cat, Carrots, Brahmin, Tiger, Jackal, Hindu, Folk Tales, Red Dragon, Poems, Crow, Twins, Tiny, Adventures In Tiny Town, Lock-Up, Adopt, Discover, Fire, Adventures, Saves, Baby, Life, Shopping, Mother, Second Day, Magic Mask, Closing Door, Maud Lindsay, Tom, Well, Neil Forest, Gloomy Gus, Christmas Cat, Alfred Westfall, Patty, Pitcher, Crowquill’s, Magic Circle, Wonderful Pitcher, Well Dressed, Stranger, Trouble, Third Day, Sir Galahad, Sir Thomas Malory, King Arthur, Knights Of The Round Table, Order Of Knighthood, The Sword In The Stone, Perilous Seat, The Sword Of Balin Le Savage, Quest, Holy Grail, White Shield, Red Cross, Sir Launcelot, Sir Percival, Attack, Gentlewoman, Mysterious Ship, Sword Of The Strange Belt, Risk, Knight In White Armor, Achieves, Quest, Bears Across The Sea, Passing Of Sir Galahad, Sir Bors, Camelot, Sir Launfal, James Russell Lowell, Fourth Day, Music, Bewitched, Hartley Richards, Bob Three Foes, Father Pan, Revenge, Ann, Catch A Thief.

Book excerpt: Andrew Lang's famous colored Fairy Books were in fact only part, rather less than half, of a larger series of storybooks for children. Among the lesser-known books of the series are two books of true stories about animals. This book deals with more exotic beasts than "The Animal Story Book." You'll find stories about rhinoceroses, kangaroos, orangutans, panthers, buffalo, llamas, reindeer, and even dinosaurs. There are also chapters about mythical beasts such as basilisks, griffins and unicorns. Rossignol Books is proud to present lesser-known children's books.

Download or read book JACK and JILL and OLD DAME GILL all 15 illustrated verses of this classic rhyme written by Anon E. Mouse and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2018-09-08 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contained herein are all 15 verses to this well-known children’s poem. But, who was the original author of the nursery rhyme “Jack and Jill” who went up the hill? In truth, no-one knows. It is thought to be a “nonsense” poem although there are a few truisms contained in the lines. In the 18thC. vinegar and brown paper were used to draw bruises out. But, who ever heard of someone going “uphill” to draw water? In most cases people talking about going “down” to the river or well to draw water. The phrase "Jack and Jill" was in use in England as early as the 16th century to indicate a boy and a girl. A comedy with the title Jack and Jill was performed at the Elizabethan court in 1567-68, and the phrase was used twice by Shakespeare: in A Midsummer Night's Dream, but the poem did not eventuate until the 18th C. We know this because the earliest known printed version comes from a reprint of John Newbery's “Mother Goose's Melody”, thought to have been first published in London around 1765. Here, we have used the illustrated edition published by publisher J. Aldis (first name unknown) of London in 1806. That this volume with illustrations has survived for over 200 years is to say the least, amazing. So we invite you to download a copy of this highly amusing, but accident-prone, pair to read to your children at bedtime. No doubt as they discover the “new” verses they will have you reading and re-reading this books time and again. ============ KEYWORDS/TAGS: Jack and Jill, old dame Gill, went up the hill, fetch, pale of water, Jack fell down, broke his crown, Jill, came tumbling after, trot, caper, plaster his nob, Vinegar, brown paper, paper plaster, mother scold, fools cap, laughing, disaster, pout, run out, follow, rode, ride, dog Ball, fall, hollow, holler, tumble, lie, judge, grumble, grin, plagued, Will Goat, Billy Goat, cry, knock, back, abate, play, sea-saw, gate, high, low, swing, give way, throw, Pigsty, Sow, prancer, jump, rump, droll, dance, squalled, squealed, bawled, choir, mire, not hurt, cover, dirt, jump, water pump, clean, rout, horse-whip, door, roar, sows ear, rear, twiter, supper, cup, good night
