Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Folk-Lore Record, Vol. 2 I have been asked to contribute a preface to the folk-lore Record, and regret that want of time for due preparation pre vents me from writing anything at all complete or adequate about the objects of the Society.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Myths and Legends Beyond Our Borders Has been an incentive to continue the work in the same field, and herewith is offered a volume of tra dition from Canada and Mexico, thus covering the North American continent. A need of brevity has made it advisable to keep to the method fol lowed in Myths and Legends of Our Own Land, of assembling traditions that attach to places, rather than attempting to set forth the almost exhaustless, always verbose, and sometimes childish folk-lore of the aborigines. Simple people, red people, and habitants, not readers, not logicians, not examiners, accept these tales from their old men and treasure them. Others may find amusement in them, and perhaps profit; for, ingenuous as they are, they. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis The American School Readers by : Kate Forrest Oswell
Download or read book The American School Readers written by Kate Forrest Oswell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American School Readers: Third Reader The subject matter has four chief elements: folklore and fairy story, historical stories, nature stories, and poems. The folklore and fairy stories are full of interest to children; they have humor and are decidedly ethical. The offensive stories of wicked relatives are omitted, as being immoral in their tendency. In their place are tales of enterprise and of common life which have become classics, and which tend to elevate the minds and characters of children. Historical stories are valuable at this age, because, while children are interested in fairy tales, they are also interested in real people, and this interest should be fostered in the school readers; so we have stories of Washington, of Lincoln, of Charlemagne, and of other historical characters, all by standard authors.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Folk-Lore: Old Customs and Tales of My Neighbours It is not nearly so easy to get authentic informa tion as many people suppose. The great difficulty, as in so many other affairs, is to get at the truth. There are few who say they believe in ghosts, but we must needs beware how we write of haunted houses. A gentleman who gave me permission to write what I liked of his house, which was reputed to be haunted, sent a man-servant down in haste with a note, saying his wife would not allow such a thing to be mentioned on any account.

Download or read book The Beacon Second Reader (Classic Reprint) written by James H. Fassett and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beacon Second Reader In the "Beacon Second Reader" the author has chosen for his stories only those of recognized literary merit; and while it has been necessary to rearrange and sometimes rewrite them for the purpose of simplification, yet he has endeavored to retain the spirit which has served to endear these ancient tales to the children of all ages. The fairy story appeals particularly to children who are in the second school year. It has been proved by our ablest psychologists that at about this period of development, children are especially susceptible to the stimulus of the old folklore. They are in fact passing through the stage which corresponds to the dawn of the human race, when demons, dragons, fairies, and hobgoblins were as firmly believed in as rivers and mountains. As a test of this theory the author asked hundreds of second-grade and third-grade school children to recall the stories which they had read during the preceding year, and to express their preferences. The choice of more than ninety percent proved to be either folklore stories, pure and simple, or such tales as contained the folklore element.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shetland Folk-Lore Islands has been largely used throughout to give the necessary local colouring, but the author thinks that this will not cause the southern reader any very serious diffi culty, as in most cases explanations of the words have been supplied. If the writer succeeds in interesting those who take pleasure in recalling the old times and the old manners, and in stimulating any of his readers to join in the work of rescuing our island traditions ere they fade away into obscurity, he will consider him self amply rewarded. The author desires here to acknowledge his indebtedness to James M. Goudie, Esq., Lerwick, for valuable assistance rendered in writing the chapter on Prehistoric Remains and to the Rev. Thomas Mathewson, Lerwick, and J. J. Haldane Burgess, Esq., m.a., Lerwick, for many helpful suggestions and much assistance given while the book was passing through the press.
