See all formats and editions

The stories collected in this volume have been selected from many sources, because in the judgment of the editor, they are sound pieces of writing, wholesome in tone, varied in interest and style, and interesting. It is his hope that they will not only furnish good reading, but that they will suggest the kind of reading in this field that should be within the reach of children. Hamilton Wright Mabie was an American essayist, editor, critic, and lecturer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Children's stories
Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2014

I'm a storyteller, a writer of children's stories and a grandmother. This delicious little book is on my Kindle; I admit to being a Luddite. I love paper books, everything about paper books. But having this handy collection on my Kindle is a real gift.

4.0 out of 5 stars Children stories

This book listed many stories that most kids should know. The book had stories in it that I didn't know about. I found the stories very different and interesting. I would recommend this book to others that are involved with children.

My friend randomly picked one up and a bookstore and I got one on amazon. It is some of the strangest and best fairy tales I have ever read. Love it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Maybe they are just too young.
Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2012

I purchased this to read to my kiddos (7 & 3). So far I have not found one that has really kept their attention. Maybe they are just too young for them. I like the stories, I remember them from childhood. I think that is the style of writing that makes it difficult for the youngest to get into them.

1.0 out of 5 stars not famous/ not good
Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2013

These aren't famous stories. they aren't even good stories if you're reading in 2013. If you're sitting somewhere in the eighteenth century reading to puritan children, then this is the book for you.
