While the text is somewhat advanced for
children of eight years, the pictures really tell, the story.
EGGLESTON, EDWARD.
Stories of Great Americans for Little Americans.
American Book. .40
A collection of many noted tales with which all of our children should
be familiar. It includes Franklin's Whistle, Putnam and the Wolf, and
Daniel Boone and his Grapevine Swing.
MYTHOLOGY, FOLK-LORE, LEGENDS, AND FAIRY TALES
Even John Locke (1632-1704), in his Thoughts on Education (1693),
recommends, besides the Psalter and the New Testament, AEsop and
Reynard the Fox, as good food for infant minds. This was an
excellent basis to start upon.
MONTROSE J. MOSES.
ADVENTURES OF REYNARD THE FOX.
Edited by W.T. Stead.
Review. .05
There is no entirely satisfactory edition, for children, of this
classic. The language of one edited by Jacobs seems to the compiler of
this list somewhat unsuited to small people, and E.L. Smythe in her
version substitutes an entirely different ending for that of the (p. 61)
original. This very inexpensive little book has more than a hundred
interesting small pictures, and children will love to read of bad
Reynard, who is told about in diverting fashion.
