Excerpt from Tales Told Out of School Speaking, therefore, as a mathematician, I have to say that about ninety per cent. Is Simple, unvarnished truth. The remaining one-tenth would not have been fiction, but for the propriety of veiling certain incidents, lest unhappily the feelings of some one might have been wounded. This is particu larly true of two of the sketches. Of the remainder, the only fiction lies in the proper names. Some time ago, a friend wrote me giving proof that he had identified every person and incident named. This was rather disquieting, but I hope no harm was done.

Excerpt from The Coachman's Club, or Tales Told Out of School I think it was a piece of poetry I wrote about our coach that first gave me a taste for pen and ink. We used to carry the same passengers pretty Often in the season, and Old Jim Dolby, who was our driver, and one Of the best whips on the road, having taken a fancy to me from the first, and always saying, Come along, John, when he went in to have a drink when we were changing horses, I got to be well known to most Of them, and, what with tips and one thing and the other, I did very well.

Excerpt from Tales of the School-Room That such accounts were acceptable to the younger class of readers, has been proved, by the pleasure with which the volume was received. But other schools have risen up, since the far-famed Amwell; and we may imagine, that many of the youthful inmates might have interesting facts to communicate, if they could be in duced to relate them. Not that at so early an age they are likely to have wit messed any events beyond those usually oc curring in a family circle; but, a young person of mind and observation, may often remember circumstances on which she might converse with improvement to her young.

Everyone knows how "Little Red Riding Hood" goes. But Grandpa keeps getting the story all wrong, with hilarious results! "Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Little Yellow Riding Hood--" "Not yellow! It's Red Riding Hood!" So begins the story of a grandpa playfully recounting the well-known fairytale--or his version, at least--to his granddaughter. Try as she might to get him back on track, Grandpa keeps on adding things to the mix, both outlandish and mundane! The end result is an unpredictable tale that comes alive as it's being told, born out of imaginative play and familial affection. This spirited picture book will surprise and delight from start to finish, while reminding readers that storytelling is not only a creative act of improvisation and interaction, but also a powerful pathway for connection and love. Telling Stories Wrong was written by Gianni Rodari, widely regarded as the father of modern Italian children's literature. It exemplifies his great respect for the intelligence of children and the kind of work he did as an educator, developing numerous games and exercises for children to engage and think beyond the status quo, imagining what happens after the end of a familiar story, or what possibilities open up when a new ingredient is introduced. This book is illustrated with great affection by the illustrious artist Beatrice Alemagna (Child of Glass), who counts Gianni Rodari as one of her "spiritual fathers."

Excerpt from Hero Tales Told in School Scarcely inferior to these latter, but not so well known to English-speaking people, are the tales of knighthood and chivalry that commemorate the romantic deeds of Charlemagne and his paladins. Written in various languages, and at periods widely separated, these tales present a curious mixture of fact and fiction, Of the real and the marvellous, Of the beautiful and the grotesque, Of pagan superstition and Christian devotion. Although there were, in truth, no knights in the time of Charlemagne, and the ih stitution of chivalry did not exist until many years later, yet these legends are of value as por traying life and manners in that period Of history which we call the Dark Ages; and their pictures Of knightly courage and generosity, faithfulness, and loyalty, appeal to our nobler feelings and stir our hearts with admiration.
