Excerpt from W. V., Her Book and Various VersesIs still a tri¿e bare and the wind some what too bleak for any one to get comfortably lost in the Forest or cast up on a coral reef, so we have made her birthday a movable feast, and whenever a fine free Saturday comes round we devote it to thankfulness that she has been born, and to the joy of our both being alive together.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare...

T¿hose who delight in Canton's other well-loved children's books, A Child's Book of Saints and A Child's Book of Warriors, will find much to satisfy in his Story of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary. Canton has consulted some of the earliest sources to assemble a tale as rich in historical detail as it is in poetic beauty. Saint Elizabeth's sweetness and generosity are brought to life in these pages, now beautifully retypeset and enhanced with a map ...

Excerpt from The Invisible Playmate: W. V. He'r Book in Memory "The sun, the sea, the forest wild - All nature loves a little child." This couplet is from the "Legend of Childhood" in a volume of poems entitled Comrades, which Mr. William Canton published after the wonderful and almost too pitiful trilogy of "W. V." here put into one volume. That is a legend to whose transcription he has given himself as no other writer has done in all the r...

Excerpt from A Child's Book of Warriors Very few people know, said the Truthful Story teller, how the great King Alexander came to the Rock of Narsinga, how the hill folk, deeming their rock impregnable, made a mock of him, and What befell them and made their lives bitter for many a long year afterwards.

Excerpt from Children's Sayings: With a Digression on the Small People I do not know of a more conclusive proof that the wisdom of the East has not been overrated than the fact that among the Hindoos the Children are known as the Baba log - the Baba folk. For the word baba is primarily a term of reverence applied to the head of a household, the ancient of the hearth, the old man venerable. Scholars, of course, have ingeniously wasted much ti...

Excerpt from A Lost Epic: And Other Poems Was sunny and blossom-blithe, and but to live A very joy 3 for he'd outgrown the broad Untutored heart of homely man and maid, And, heedless of the common work-day life Which prompts the poems all the world can feel, Could scorn the only pages left to keep His name in kindly memory.

Excerpt from A History of the British and Foreign Bible Society, Vol. 3 With the Jubilee of the Society the England of the Hanoverian kings may be said to have vanished completely into history. The thirty years which form the fourth period of our narrative were pure Victorian. It was not simply a difference in name but in the social and industrial life of the nation. The results of invention and free commerce were seen in miles of new streets...

Excerpt from The Story of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary Some one speaks of St. Elizabeth of Hungary.

She brings with her the freshness and colour of the summer dawn, and for a moment her simple sweetness illumines the confused dusky recesses of the Middl...
