John Bunyan: The Pilgrim's Progress Told to the Children (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from John Bunyan: The Pilgrim's Progress Told to the ChildrenWhen the day is over, and the dark night comes, children often wander into a strange land, - the Land Of Dreams.Sometimes what they see and hear there is more strange than anything they see or hear in the wake-a - day world, and that is why, when morning comes, they long to tell their dreams to all who will listen.More than two hundred years ago, a tinker, called John Bunyan, was imprisoned in Bedford Jail. But One night the tinker left his prison and wandered into the Land Of Dreams, and there he saw wonderful sights and heard wonderful words.As there was no One to listen to his dream, John Bunyan wrote it down and had it made into a book, and the book he called The P1] grim '3 Progress. It is about the journey and adventures of a pilgrim and his companions.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Story of Rome, From the Earliest Times, to the Death of Augustus: Told to Boys and Girls Dear ian and willie, - The Story of Rome has been written, as you know, in your beautiful, quiet old garden. And as the story grew, the short cold days of winter passed and the long warm days of summer were here. In the garden a miracle had been wrought. It had become alive. After slow, persistent struggle with storm and frost, the delicate bare branches were no longer bare, but clothed in living green. The hard black earth too had stirred, and shoots and blades appeared, until at length the garden was ablaze with gold, purple, crimson. Sometimes I dreamed that, in its own different way, the Story of Rome too was a miracle, wrought out of the tears and throes of a brave and ambitious people. For the story tells of the birth of a city and of its growth through storm and struggle, until it became a great world empire. The city which Romulus founded was built upon a single hill; soon seven hills were not great enough to contain her. And when Augustus, the first Emperor of Rome, began to reign, part of Europe, Asia Minor, Egypt, Syria, and a large portion of Africa formed his kingdom. Although the story was written in the quiet of your garden, little of its peace has stolen into the tale, and for that you boys may care for it the more. As you read, fierce battle-cries will ring in your ears, andselves as you read The Story of Rome. - Yours affectionately, mary macgregor.
