DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Good Old Stories for Boys and Girls No apology would seem to be required for re printing Richard Hengist Horne's admirable story The good-natured Bear, which Thackeray called one of the wittiest, pleasantest, and kindest of books. With this have been associated other stories and poems, most of them by well-loved writers for children m the mid-nineteenth century. Though endeavoring to make the selection repre sentative, care has been taken to choose those stories most likely to interest boys and girls of to-day and also to obtain as much variety as possible, both in character and in scene. Some of the selections are of a fairy tale nature, some legendary, and others are realistic stories of life in different countries.
