by Will David Howe, Myron Thomas Pritchard, Elizabeth Virginia Brown

1909

Book two. In this book, for use in the second year, an attempt is made to satisfy the child's increasing love for the story, and to do this, tales have been gathered from the literature of India, China, Greece, Germany, England, Denmark, Norway, and our own country. The fairy story, the nonsense tale, the nature story, the fable, the myth, the hero tale, and the Bible story are all here with their messages of beauty and of moral instruction. -- Preface.
