And so tell the stories, That each child may see How sin brought all sorrow On humanity. Oh, show them God's mercy And great, tender love In sending a Savior, His Son, from above. And tell them how Jesus Invites each dear child To come, seek salvation, In words sweet and mild. He said, "Suffer children To come unto me; Of such is the kingdom Of heaven to be." And then, as you teach them The true, living way, Just show them how sin bids For souls ev'ry day. The sweet little children, With body and brain, Untarnished by evil, So free from all stain, Are placed by the Saleman About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Good Old Stories for Boys and Girls No apology would seem to be required for re printing Richard Hengist Horne's admirable story The good-natured Bear, which Thackeray called one of the wittiest, pleasantest, and kindest of books. With this have been associated other stories and poems, most of them by well-loved writers for children m the mid-nineteenth century. Though endeavoring to make the selection repre sentative, care has been taken to choose those stories most likely to interest boys and girls of to-day and also to obtain as much variety as possible, both in character and in scene. Some of the selections are of a fairy tale nature, some legendary, and others are realistic stories of life in different countries.

Excerpt from The Beautiful Years: A Tale of Childhood Then something that had been a vague shadow for a long, long time on the hearthrug, rose up, yawned, and shook itself. With a pad-pad of feet it came to John Maddison, and stared at him in the dimness. His master stroked the soft ears of the spaniel, whose eyes became more worshipping than ever. When John Maddison ceased his mechanical action, the cold moist nose of the dog Fidelis was rubbed against his hand solely as indicating grateful thanks, and not as would be done by a creature without pedigree in an endeavour to canvass for more pleasure. Then his tail thumped on the floor, for his beloved master, so silent and fearful, had whispered that he was dear old boy.

Excerpt from Good Stories The hard notary met me with open arms, embraced me, held me out, gazed at me, said, in a broken voice, You are very like your darling mother, ' and embraced me again. I was installed in a pretty bedroom with a bay-window, curtained outside by a magnolia in full bloom; pigeons cooed outside every morning an hour before breakfast, leaves glistened with dew, and flowers diffused sweet smells. Next day my uncle took me into the town to his office, and introduced me to his managing clerk as his partner and successor. He left me under charge of this worthy while he pursued his real vocation, bric-d-brac. He was so unfortunate as to pick up a great bargain, a vile old jug; he itched to be home with it; so I had no time to master my new business that day.

Excerpt from The Old-Fashioned Fairy Book And now, mamma, until your tea is ready, we know what you must do, said the children, in a breath. Tell us a story - a real, truly fairy tale, about a giant and a dwarf, lots and lots of fairies, a prince and a beautiful princess with hair to her very feet, a Champion with a magic sword, a dragon-chariot, a witch dressed in Snake skin - and, if you can, an ogre. Don't punish anybody but the witch and the ogre; and please don't have any moral, only let everybody 'live in peace and die in a pot of grease, ' at the end of it.

Excerpt from Old-Time Stories F the eleven tales which the present volume com prises, the first eight are from the master - hand of Charles Perrault. Charles Perrault (1628-1703) enjoyed much distinction in his day, and is familiar to students of French literature for the prominent part that he played in the famous Quarrel of the Ancients and Modems, which so keenly occupied French men of letters in the latter part of the seventeenth century. But his fame to-day rests upon his authorship of the traditional Tales of Mother Goose or Stories of Olden Times, and so long as there are children to listen spellbound to the adventures of Cinder ella, Red Riding Hood, and that arch rogue Puss in Boots, his memory will endure.

Excerpt from The Favorite Story Book: Or Pleasing Sketches for Youth Mary and Martha Goodall were nice little girls. No one ever heard of either of them disobeying their mother, or getting into a bad humor, and pouting, when she told them to do any thing. No; they liked to do what they were told to do. They loved their mother, and they knew she was able to teach them what was right. She sent them to school, where they learned to read and write. But she did much more than that for them.
