Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of Passed Times Written for Children Once upon a time, there lived in a certain village, a little country girl, the prettiest creature was ever seen. Her mother was excessively fond of her and her grand-mother doated on her much more. This good woman got made for her a little red riding-hood; which became the girl so extremely well, that every body called her Little Red Riding Hood. One day, her mother, having made some custards, said to her, Go my dear, and see how thy grand-mamma does, for I hear she has been very ill, carry her a custard, and this little pot of butter. Little Red riding-hood sets out immediately to go to her grand-mother, who lived in another village. As she was going thro' the wood, she met with Gaffer Wolf, who had a very great mind to eat her up, but he durst not, because of some faggot makers hard by in the forest.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of Passed Times There were once a King and Queen, who were very unhappy at not having any children, more unhappy than words can tell. Vows, pilgrimages, everything was tried, but nothing was Of any avail; at length, however, a little daughter was born to them. There was a splendid christening. For god mothers, they gave the young Princess all the fairies they could find in the country - they were seven in number - in order that each making her a gift, according to the custom Of fairies in those days, the Princess might, by these means, become possessed, of all imaginable perfections. When the ceremony was Over, all the company returned to the King's palace, where a great banquet had been prepared for the fairies. The table was magnificently laid for them, and each had placed for her a massive gold case, containing a spoon, a fork, and a knife Of fine gold, set with diamonds and rubies.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales for Children This delicate reproof of Harry's had the effect that he intended it should have: Mr. Weston walked immediately to the counting-house, with an intention of regulating his business, and giving such necessary orders to his clerks as should enable him, without inconvenience to himself, to accompany his wife, and the little folks to Croydon fair on the following day. Having made this arrangement to his satisfaction, he called, in his way home, at the White Lion, and ordered a glass coach to be at his house by ten o'clock in the morning. After dinner he acquainted the family with what he had been doing for their pleasure, and hoped that no unforeseen circumstance would occur to disappoint them of their jaunt. "I wish I was as certain of a thousand a year," said Harry Weston, "as I am of going to Croydon to-morrow."

The boy, casting his eyes upward, along the rugged trunks, (here and there overgrown with the most luxuriant moss, ) to the fresh green crowning the lofty summits of the time-honored oaks, said: "These glorious trees remind me of the verses in our reading-book: 'To God's own fiery bolt alone I yield, No tempest's rage can bow my sturdy crest; Strength steels my core, a mighty power I wield; - Come, all ye weak, and 'neath my shadow rest!'" As these words rang out through the silence of the quiet wood, the boy's bright, cheerful gaze fell upon the tender maiden at his side, and seemed to assure her of his unfailing aid and protection throughout her whole life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from For the Children's Hour In nearly every case it has been found necessary to adapt the stories to the immediate use of the story teller, whether kindergartner or mother. They have been shortened, and only such salient facts retained as will result in clear mental concepts, and make the stories easily told without undue taxing of the child's attention. A large place has been given to the fanciful tale, which has a direct educational value in the training of the imagination; and the accumulative repetition story, which develops the child's sense of humor, and appeals to his instinctive love of rhyme and jingle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories and Tales The present volume of Hans Christian Andersen's "Stories ind Tales" is the complement of the volume entitled "Wonder Stories told for Children." It was found impossible to bring all of his shorter stories and fancies within the compass of a single volume, and in making the division some regard was had to that which he has himself several times pointed out, - that his stories are sometimes pure inventions of fancy and sometimes have their root in historic incidents or events, and scenes of which he has been cognizant. At the same time, any one who made the attempt to separate these writings exactly upon such a line would find, as Andersen himself has said, that after all one must accept the undiscriminating term of popular usage and call them all stories. Thus the companion volume is not all fancy, and this is not all fact; the elements are mingled, and reasons of convenience have sometimes caused a manifest departure from the rule laid down. Still, in a rough way, the two volumes do each represent strongly one and the other of these elements. In the twenty-seventh volume of his "Collected Writings, Andersen has given a number of notes with a view to presenting briefly the origin and succession of his lesser stones. As such comments by an author on his own work are never devoid of interest, it has been thought expedient to reproduce hem in this place. At Christmas, 1829, there was published a little collection of poems, which closed with a wonder story given in prose, "The Ghost"; it was one which I had heard as a child, and now told in a manner something like Musaeus, but it did not take until several years after, when it appeared in another shape as "The Travelling Companion."

There, in place of my nurse, who generally came to fetch me, I saw a stout, comely member of the Society of Friends; she was eating cake and wine with imperturbable gravity, and, when she had set down her glass, and smoothed out her gown upon her lap, she held out her hand, and said pleasantly.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jack O'health and Peg Ojoy a Fairy-Tale My life is a beautiful fairy-tale, said Hans Christian Andersen, and out of its realities no less than its imagin ings, he wrote his immortal stories for children. Contes d'andersen stands side by side with Contes de Fees of Charles Perrault and Madame d'aulnoy on the shelves of the children's libraries which have been recently opened in northern France. It is far from my intention to place Jack o'health and Peg o'joy beside the work of these great writers. I would give it a place of its own.

These drew illustrative pictures, after their fashion; and from the multitude secured, Mrs. Maitland chose those which are here reproduced. The scenes in the stories were also subjected to the criticisms of children, and in many cases amended to meet their suggestions. Several of the stories, espe cially the classical travesties, would not be printed were it not for the children's drawings. These pic tures made by the children have been found to interest deeply other children, a fact which gives them a certain value as original documents in the study of the working of the child-mind. At the end of the volume are added a few true stories, mostly of birds and of beasts, told to a different audience. With these are a few drawings by Uni versity students, which are intended to assist the imagination of child-readers. The Story of Bob, and the stories of Senor Alcatraz, the Little Blue Fox, and How the Red Fox went Hunting are reprinted, by the courtesy of Dr. William Jay Youmans, from Appletons' Popular Science Monthly, and How the Commander Sailed, from the Paci fic Monthly, by the courtesy of Mr. W. Bittle Wells. The indebtedness of the author to Mrs. Maitland and to Miss Hawley is indicated above. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
