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.

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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Best Stories to Tell to Children It is the belief of the publishers, here and in England, that some of the stories ought to be printed separately from these books on method, for the more ready ac cess of children themselves and those whose interest is of a wholly untechnical sort. This is the more de sirable because stories which are especially adapted to be told are equally charming for reading aloud or to one's self. The converse is not true: stories written to be read are rarely suitable for the story-teller's art until they have been skilfully adapted. In other words, those tales which can be and have been told with suc cess are in a sense the chosen few; they, of all the world's stories, are most charming to hear or to read.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Very Simple Story: Being a Chronicle of the Thoughts and Feelings of a Child Very early this morning did the golden head raise itself from its white pillows, and watch the line of light that crept through the chinks of the closed shutters. "Would it ever, ever be time to get up?" "Could not the daylight hurry a little bit on this morning, of all mornings in the year; or, was it possible that the sun did not know that it is Maye's birthday?" This was a new idea, and the golden head lay very still, while the busy brain revolved the question. "God knew: yes, Mays was very sure God knew, for had not mother told her He knew everything. Well! God was in the sky, and the sun was in the sky. Might not God just have whispered it to the sun?" "Maye will ask mother. She will be sure to know." But that last ray of sunlight streams on nurse's face, and she stirs and rises. Maye lies very still, watching her. How absorbing is the interest of seeing nurse dress!

Download or read book The Child s Story of the Greatest Century Classic Reprint written by Charles Morris and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-08 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories Children Need Stories Children Need has been written because I believe that every story told or read to a child should contribute something to the child's mental or spiritual life. Its scope is a graded course in stories, beginning with those simple, cumulative folk tales that lead to verbal expression on the part of the child and so start his training in language, and ending with the great dramatic stories that stimulate action. Linking these groups are apperceptive stories that lead the child from the home into the world; stories that use and enrich his sensory impressions; suspensive stories and stories of pronounced climax that train his powers of attention; stories that meet the needs of the dawning emotional life; and stories that stimulate the child's imagination in the highest way. Each of these groups of stories is, in itself, graded. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
