Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Princes and Princesses All the stories about Princes and Princesses in this book are true stories, and were written by Mrs. Lang, out of old books of history. There are some children who make life difficult by saying, first that stories about fairies are true, and that they like fairies; and next that they do not like true stories about real people, who lived long ago. I am quite ready to grant that there really are such things as fairies, because, though I never saw a fairy, any more than I have seen the little animals which lecturers call molecules and ions, still I have seen people who have seen fairies - truthful people. Now I never knew a lecturer who ventured to say that he had seen an ion or a molecule. It is well known, and written in a true book, that the godmother of Joan of Are had seen fairies, and nobody can suppose that such a good woman would tell her godchild what was not true - for example, that the squire of the parish was in love with a fairy and used to meet her in the moonlight beneath a beautiful tree. In fact, if we did not believe in fairy stories, who would care to read them? Yet only too many children dislike to read true stories, because the people in them were real, and the things actually happened. Is not this very strange? And grown-ups are not much wiser. They would rather read a novel than Professor Mommsen's 'History of Rome'! How are we to explain this reluctance to read true stories?

Download or read book The Princess Classic Reprint written by Alfred Lord Tennyson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Princess All study is a quest of something. One seeks, in order to find. Before undertaking the study of The Princess, therefore, it is only proper to inquire toward what objects this quest may most profitably be directed. Considering the nature of the poem for it is in this that the answer is to be sought - we find that T he Princess abounds in beauty, and that its object is to set forth and illustrate a truth or truths of which the poet is profoundly con vinced. This being conceded, it follows that, while opinions are likely to vary concerning the degree or amount of beauty and of truth attained, it is improbable that any one who has qualified himself by reflection to form a judgment on the matter will assert that the poet has compassed both absolute beauty and absolute truth. In other words, we must hold ourselves prepared, how ever we may at first sight be dazzled by the many and varied excellences of the poem, to recognize in it the presence of more or less imperfection.

Elizabeth did not know any of them to speak to except Mrs. Wallace, whom She had met officially as the rector's wife. But she dearly loved to watch them all. They seemed so happy and jolly and so fond of each other. One by one they filed in. First there was the pretty young lady with the fair hair and the forget-me-not blue eyes a regular blue and gold princess Whom Elizabeth of the raven locks admired tremendously. Next to her was the funny chubby-faced little boy in the white sailor suit who was forever bob bing up and down in the pew and turning his head in a thousand directions. His face was as a Raphael cherub's, but Elizabeth had noted appreciatively, on former occa sions, that his conduct did not always match his cherubic expression. Mrs. Wallace her self came next. Elizabeth had loved her from the first moment she saw her, though she looked so mothery it sometimes made a lump come in her throat she wanted her own dear little mother so. Aunt Evelyn was not in the least mothery. Poor thing! She had had scarcely any practice! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Don't move or I'll blow your brains out!" In the fraction of a second before I dived under the table I saw the astounded faces of the two other officers.
