Stories From Seven Old Favorites: Selected Arranged by Eva March Thappan (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Stories From Seven Old Favorites: Selected Arranged by Eva March ThappanHis volume is made up of stories from seven famous books. These books are as different as they can possibly be; and yet there are not many boys and girls who do not like every one of them. The chief reason for this is because they seem so true, so much more real than most other stories. When you read about Tom Thumb, for instance, you do not really believe that there ever was a little boy no bigger than his mother's thumb; at least, you do not believe it in the same way that you believe the sun shines or the wind blows; but when you read Robinson Crusoe, you feel as if every word of it must be true.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
