Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Child's Story of the Greatest Century These are some of the things we owe to the nineteenth century. They are not the whole of them. It has been a century crowded with marvels, full of great events and won derful discoveries. It has had its triumphs of war and its greater triumphs of peace its great warriors and its greater statesmen; its great doers and its greater thinkers. The past centuries were centuries of action more than of thought; this has been a century alike of thought and of action. Man's hands have been busy, but his brain has been busier, and the triumphs of the nineteenth century are the triumphs of the mind. I hope the readers of this little book understand what I have just said. If any part of it is not clear to them they must. Read on to the end to learn what it all means. This book is the story of the lives and acts of the people now liv ing on the earth and of their fathers and grand fathers. It should be of interest to all of us on that account. The story of the nineteenth century is a wonderful one in every way. There is nothing else so wonderful in the history of the world. None of the tales of adventure you may have read are of more interest than the facts of this great century, and I am sure-you will agree with me when you have read this book through. That is all I have to say here. One cannot say every thing in a preface. And none of you, when you are invited to a good dinner, care much to be told what is on the table. You would rather find out for yourselves. So with these few words I throw open the doors of the dining hall, and let you in to the feast of good things which has been prepared for you.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Child's Dream of a Star: And the Child's Story They used to say to one another, sometimes, Supposing all the chil dren upon earth were to die, would the flowers, and the water, and the sky be sorry? They believed they would be sorry. For, said they, the buds are the children Of the flowers, and the little playful streams that gambol down the hillsides are the children Of the water; and the small est bright specks playing at hide and seek in the sky all night, must surely be the children Of the stars; and they would all be grieved to see their playmates, the children Of men, no more. There was one clear Shining star that used to come out in the sky before the rest, near the church Spire, above the graves. It was larger and more beautiful, they thought, than all the others, and every night they watched for it, standing hand in hand at a window. -whoever saw it first cried out, I see the star! And often they cried out both to gether, knowing so well when it would rise, and where. SO they grew to be such friends with it, that, before lying down in their beds, they always looked out once again, to bid it good night; and when they were turning round to Sleep, they used to say, God bless the star!

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Boys and I: A Child's Story for Children And little Racey had fallen asleep too, lying at the foot of my bed. He hadn't been kept away from us because of what Tom called the affection of the measles, for the old doctor said he had better get it too and have it over. But he didn't get it, and if ever I have children I shall not do that way with them. I'll try and keep them from having any illnesses at all, for I don't believe we're forced to have them. I think mother thought so too, but she didn't like to contradict the doctor; because he was so old she thought he must know best. And after all it didn't matter, as Racey didn't get the measles. I really must try to go straight ou - I keep going back when other things come into my head, so it isn't so easy to write things down nicely as I thought it was.

Download or read book The Story of a Child Classic Reprint written by Margaret Deland and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-16 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Story of a Child is written by the American novelist, short story writer, and poet Margaret Deland. Through her writing, Deland promoted and engaged in the literary realism movement of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. This movement encouraged authors to write about contemporary life and society as they knew it in the spirit of creating realism in novels and other forms of writing as opposed to the more romanticized or sensationalized works that society had become accustomed to reading. Truly a master of the style, Deland's narrative is compelling and realistic enough to convince even the most skeptical reader. In this novel, Deland explores what it was like to grow up in late nineteenth century America in the confines of what, on the surface, appears to be a normal family. But no life is without conflict, and true to her exploration of realism, Deland tackles the conflict within her setting head on without apology. Only by overcoming their major conflicts can the family prove that it's the ties that bind are always the strongest. Even the oddest family members have their moments at center stage in an effort to come to the aid of the rest of the family in this most difficult of changes. Deland's ability to establish engaging and exciting characters remains unmatched to this day, and as a result this book stands out as a very significant piece of American literature. The Story of a Child is an American novel written during the literary realism movement and echoes the beliefs of that movement. Deland creates an interesting glimpse into the late 1800s family and the challenges this family, especially the growing children, must face. This book is an engaging and entertaining read for anyone interested in realistic novels, history, and classic literature.

Download or read book The Twentieth Century Child Classic Reprint written by Edward H. Cooper and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Twentieth Century Child A large number of children-the majority, I suppose - confide everything about them selves to their parents, and nothing about their parents or home to anybody else. A certain number of others confide everything about their home and their parents to some outside friend, and regard all their guardians as quaint specimens of natural history, rather liable to bite, most comfortable at a distance, but quite interesting topics for conversation with intimate friends. The former and more common kind of home-life one watches with love and envy, but with no more intimate comprehension than may come from memories of one's own childhood. From youngstersof the latter class one can learn everything that it is possible to know about a child of this kind of either sex and every age. In excuse for the defects of this book, which, of course, are many, I can only suggest that its general tendency must be to give slightly undue prominence to the minority of children who do not lead a purely normal home-life. One other word I want to add. The stories of children's humour in these pages are quite genuine for the simple reason that I hate taking any trouble, and it is so much easier to tell real child-stories than to make them up that I have adopted the former course.

It is the fate of children's books to be destroyed by children themselves; to be put aside as insignificant in public and private collections; to be omitted from catalogues and bibliographies to be bound up, sometimes, in heterogene ous batches of half-a-dozen in one cover, without regard to unity of authorship or similarity of contents; to be preserved - if at all - either by a mere happy chance, or for the sake of illustrations they may happen to contain and finally, in these modern days, to be hunted out for deportation to America.
