Excerpt from Grandma's Stories and Anecdotes of "Ye Olden Times": Incidents of the War of Independence, EtcAs the tree is easily bent when a sapling, so can the tender minds of children be inclined to good or evil by the nursery teachings. Too much care cannot be taken to impress them with a love of what will render them virtuous and happy in after life. Stories that convey the moral of truthfulness, uprightness and strict adherence to dutv, can never fail to produce a lasting effect. Fiction is good but truth is more desirable. The contents of this little volume are founded on fact, and given in the simple language e caught up from the venerated grandma of years long since gone by, we fondly trust they may prove useful and recreative to the little lovers of tales and stories.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
