Présentation de l'éditeur

Mother Goose Melodies and the proverbs which form some of the early sentences taught them, the quaint nursery tales like The Story of Chicken licken, The Old Woman and Her Pig, The Three Bears, these they remember and separate from the chaff of the ordinary reading exercises by the winnowing fan of their spiritual judgment. They perceive, even thus early, what is literature and what is not literature; they hold to that, and discard this. Literature, for the sake of which the art of reading is acquired, is never left behind, and it becomes of importance to give children, as soon as may be, enduring forms on which they may exercise their newly acquired power, and in which they may take the first draughts of a pleasure as genuine as any to be enjoyed when they come into the full possession of their blossoming faculty of imagination. There are two forms of literary art which belong rightfully to the early period of childhood: the Fable and the Folk-S tory. The fable is oriental, and it is antique. It is also exceedingly current and universal as a coin of speech.
