Extract:

"He was only a little bit of a chap, and so, when for the first time in his life he came into close contact with the endless current of human things, it was as hard for him to "stay put" as for some wayward little atom of flotsam and jetsam to keep from tossing about in the surging tides of the sea. His mother had left him there in the big toy-shop, with instructions not to move until she came back, while she went off to do some mysterious errand. She thought, no doubt, that with so many beautiful things on every side to delight his eye and hold his attention, strict obedience to her commands would not be hard."

John Kendrick Bangs (1862-1922) was an American author, editor and satirist.

Top review from the United States

Don Kidwell
3.0 out of 5 stars Great Tales From Years Ago, Illustrations Less So
Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2017
Verified Purchase
1) Why I chose this book : More for the touching works "Santa Claus and Little Billee" plus "A Toast to Santa Claus" than the sporadic artwork
2) Type of book : Holiday read
3) Formatting/Editing : Respectable with an active toc
4) Best/Worst aspect of book : Somewhat hard to justify the cost of the four illustrations provided as same tales may be read for free in version ASIN: B004UJIR1Q or as part of the massive collection "The Greatest Christmas Tales & Poems in One Volume" ASIN: B07256DCD4 which is a far better bargain
5) Favorite passage : "The good old Saint is everywhere Along life's busy way, We find him in the very air We breathe day after day - "
6) Bottom-line : Enjoyed the read tho could have easily done without the few illustrations
