Everyday Stories (Classic Reprint)

0/5 ( ratings)

Excerpt from Everyday Stories They were written for a real little girl who used to beg for them to be repeated. Then they were told to many other little girls-and boys too; and since it often happened that these chil dren also would hear them again and again, the author was encouraged to believe that they would be welcomed by a larger public. She makes no apology for the amount of de tail employed, nor for the narration of very trivial events, for it is just these that little chil dren love. How old was he? Where did he live? This is the kind of question most frequently put to the story-teller from an audi ence composed of little children. Names of places are often purposely avoided in the book, as it is more effective to name familiar places, and the story-teller should insert suitable place names to please her audience.
