Présentation de l'éditeur: The bits of genuine literature which a child first comes to know, when he reads for himself, are fables and folk stories, the production of the world in its own period of childhood. He finds no authors name attached to these save the almost impersonal one of Esop, and he never thinks of authorship in connection with this literature. If he asks the origin of what he reads, he is told that the stories were told once upon a time, dim ages ago. By and by he begins to hear names of authors, and to associate this or that story, or poem, with some particular personality, and his interest is quickened it may be by learning that the author is still living, perhaps he is in hip own neighborhood; and finally, in his school exercises, his attention is drawn almost away from literature to the creators of literature, and he joins with his companions in celebrating the praises of some author upon his birthday.
