Excerpt from Boys' and Girls' Bookshelf, Vol. 15: Book of Wonders and Curious Things (Part 1)Her length-about 750 feet - exceeds that of two towering Skyscrapers placed one on top of the other; and her funnels, being 24 feet in diameter, would easily admit a couple of full Sized trolley - cars driven abreast throughout their whole length of 155 feet! Passengers taking their morning stroll on deck will understand that a circuit of the Ship three and a half times means covering almost exactly a mile.As the vessel lies on the ways, one obtains an admirable idea of her vastness. It is like looking up at one of the pyramids; only, instead of rising from a desert, the towering hull commands one of the busiest industrial hives of men. Stand on the forecastle in the very eyes of the levia than, and the ground is nearly 100 feet below.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Myths: Every Child Should Know (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Myths: Every Child Should KnowA middle-aged country fellow (he had driven his cow to drink out of the spring) stared hard at young Bellerophon, and at the handsome bridle which he carried in his hand.The watercourses must be getting low, friend, in your part of the world, remarked he, if you come so far only to find the Fountain of Pirene. But, pray, have you lost a horse? I see you carry the bridle in your hand; and a very pretty one it is, with that double row of bright stones upon it. If the horse was as fine as the bridle, you are much to be pitied for losing him.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Norse Stories: Retold From The Eddas

Boys' and Girls' Bookshelf, Vol. 13: Book of Nature and Outdoor Life (Part III) (Classic Reprint)

<p>Rooted in an oral tradition, fantastic sagas of Norse mythology found their way into print seven centuries ago, in documents known as the Eddas. This book presents 17 of the most popular tales, from the creation of the world to the death of the gods and the world’s destruction.<br>Masterfully retold, the legends include Odin's trip to Mimer in search of knowledge, the making of Thor's hammer, the loss of Idun's wondrous apples, and the task of securing the dreaded Fenris-wolf with unbreakable silken twine devised from "the sound of a cat’s footsteps, the roots of the mountains, the breath of a fish, and the sinew of a bear." Here, too, are accounts of "The Wooing of Gerd," "Thor Goes a Fishing," "The Death of Balder," "How Loki Was Punished," "The Twilight of the Gods," and "The New Earth."</p>
