A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Wonderful Journey. ONCE upon a time there was an old woman; she was so old and bent that the little children thought she must be a hundred years old at least, and all their fathers and mothers called her Granny. She had a kind heart and had seen much trouble, for her husband and her son had both gone to the wars and had never come back, so she lived all alone in a little cottage just outside the village. One dark winters evening there came a rap at the door, and opening it she found a little beggar lad with a basket of tiny things all carved out of wood. A ny little chairs and tables for your granddiildren? said the beggar lad. A ny little boxes to keep your tinder dry? A las I said Granny, I have no grandchildren. Be off with you, and do not mock an old woman IT he little beggar lad said nothing and turned meekly away, but when he was gone the old womans heart smote her. I wish I had not been so sharp with him, she said. I cannot rest for thinking of him; I have a great mind to call him back. But, looking out, she could see him nowhere; nevertheless, so sharply did she reproach herself, she wrapped her old cloak round her and taking the lantern and two pennies from her stocking went out into the bitter night to find him if she might. She searched all through the village, and at last she found him sitting meekly on a doorstep eating a dry crust. Have you sold anything? she asked. Nothing, said the beggar lad. Ah well I said Granny, I have changed my mind. I will have a little table for myself and two little chairs for my husband and my son who went to the wars and never came back. They will come back, said the beggar lad.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works.

This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue.
