Old-Fashioned Tales is the sixth volume of The Junior Classics collection, in whose pages you will find many short stories from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century which are perfect for bedtime stories, to be read aloud or to share as a family. These tales are charming and enjoyable, bridging the gap between fairy stories and contemporary fiction for older readers, with inclusions from Louisa Alcott, Charles Dickens, Nathaniel Hawthorne, John Ruskin and Lewis Carroll, among many other talented writers.

The purpose of The Junior Classics is to provide, in ten volumes containing about five thousand pages, a classified collection of tales, stories, and poems, both ancient and modern, suitable for boys and girls of from six to sixteen years of age.Thoughtful parents and teachers will appreciate the educational value of such a collection. A child’s taste in reading is formed, as a rule, in the first ten or twelve years of its life, and experience has shown that the childish mind will prefer good literature to any other, if access to it is made easy, and will develop far better on literature of proved merit than on trivial or transitory material.

Based in the initial 1918 editions of The Junior Classics, these volumes have been wholly updated for the modern reader. Additional content, illustrations, extensive footnotes and an updated format provide an enchanting and rewarding reading experience, and the complete collection constitutes an excellent literary library for children and young people today.
