The Wood-chopper's Children

Edward Eggleston

0/5 ( ratings)

Edward Eggleston was an American historian and novelist. As a child, he was too ill to regularly attend school, so his education was primarily provided by his father. He wrote a number of tales, some of which, especially the "Hoosier" series, attracted much attention. Among these are "The Hoosier Schoolmaster", "The Hoosier Schoolboy", "The End of the World", "The Faith Doctor", and "Queer Stories for Boys and Girls". In all of his work he sought to write with "photographic exactness" of the real West. After a trip to Europe in 1879 he turned to the writing of history. His "Beginners of a Nation" and "Transit of Civilization from England to America" contributed to the growth of social history.
Originally published in 1884 as a part of Eggleston's "Queer Stories for Boys and Girls", "The Wood-chopper's Children" tells the story of the Cellar-door Club, a party of boys meeting regularly on a cellar-door and telling each other different stories.
A classic example of Eggleston's simple, but undeniably pleasant style, this book is a real treasure. Do you want to take pleasure in reading aloud to your kids? Then download the book and enjoy the reading!
