DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Wayside Poems Once more beside the familiar well-curb and its cool-dripping bucket, after years of wandering and sojourning in many lands! It has been the author's fortune, since the publication of his Old Homestead Poems, to realize an early dream - to dwell for a time in the land of his fathers, and muse amid the historic shrines of the fairest city in Europe. The favorable reception of his first volume on both sides of the Atlantic, and of the Clover and Heather edition by Blackwood & Sons, of Edinburgh and London, has prompted him to present these later Verses by the Wayside. Many are associated with happy friendships, formed during a delightful period of consular life at Edinburgh, many more with scenes and love-lit memories of our own country, with here and there a lyric-dream belonging to every land and every age. Principal Fairbairn, of Oxford University, has kindly said that several are "fragrant of both soils," and that it was "a happy thought to wed, through Scott and Irving, the Tweed and the Hudson." To bind the world in sweeter relationship is the highest province of literature. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLongfellow's Wayside Inn in Sudbury, Massachusetts, is the most venerable of all the old historic taverns still operating in America. Built three hundred years ago by the How family, it has witnessed Indian affairs, colonial wars and the coming of the stagecoach, railroad and automobile. The poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow immortalized it in verse with his 1863 collection Tales of a Wayside Inn, suddenly making it a desired destination for travelers. Longfellow's romanticized description of the inn later so inspired Henry Ford that he purchased and restored the building and its surrounding three thousand acres. Join author Brian Plumb as he traverses the highways of New England's history to discover the stories of Longfellow's Wayside Inn.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThere has been a terrible mistake. Instead of having thirty classrooms side by side, Wayside School is thirty storeys high! (The builder said he was sorry.) Perhaps that's why all sorts of strange and unusual things keep happening – especially in Mrs Jewls's classroom on the very top floor. There's the terrifying Mrs Gorf, who gets an unusually fruity comeuppance; Terrible Todd, who always gets sent home early; and Mauricia, who has a strange ice-cream addiction. Meanwhile, John can only read upside down, and Leslie is determined to sell her own toes. From top to bottom, Wayside is packed with quirky and hilarious characters who are all brought to life in this new edition with delightful illustrations by Aleksei Bitskoff throughout. This is an unmissable, irrepressible story of mixed-up mayhem from Louis Sachar, the bestselling author of Holes.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Wayside Thoughts and Other Poems In presenting this volume to the public, the Author considers it unnecessary to make many prefatory remarks, or to recount the disadvantages under which he has laboured through unfavourable circumstances, with a view to excite the sympathy of such as may honour him with a perusal. Nor does he publish owing to the importunity of friends, but humbly acknowledges that the step which he has taken is indeed venturesome, and can only be reconciled with the consideration that every attempt in literature must be in some measure daring.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Wayside Flowers: Religious and Miscellaneous Poems Not like showy, rare exotics nurtured beneath the watchful eye and skillful hand of the florist, into a state of beautiful perfection; but like modest wayside flowers, of common form and hue, peeping, unobserved, from among the grasses along the rugged and winding pathway, are these simple, little poems. Not like the artistic bouquet of roses and camillias tastefully arranged by the exquisite hand of beauty; but like a bunch of wild flowers, a handful of cowslips and violets, culled in a country ramble, are these everyday thoughts and gleanings. Though they may soon fade from the minds of my readers, may they, at least, serve to brighten some heart or home, and leave there an abiding fragrance. At the suggestion of friends, "Has She Any Tin" has been added," which is the only selection from Cactus: or Thorns and Blossoms.
