Description

 							
  
  No book is
better for introducing children ages 6 to 9 to legendary historical figures than this collection of stories admirably
retold by James Baldwin at the beginning of the last century. Selecting the best of our literary heritage, Baldwin cast
it into a form that delights children of all ages. Beginning with stories of heroes from British history, including King
Alfred and the Cakes, King Canute on the Seashore, and Bruce and the Spider, the book moves on to tales of other lands.
From Ancient Greece come stories of The Brave Three Hundred, Alexander and Bucepahlus, and Diogenes the Wise Man.
Introducing the history of Rome are the Story of Cincinnatus, Horatius at the Bridge, and Julius Caesar. The stories of
William Tell, Arnold Winkelried, and Robin Hood impart a bit of the flavor of the Middle Ages. Rounding out the
collection are a number of timeless tales that show heroes in action: Damon and Pythias, The Sword of Damocles,
Picciola, and The King and His Hawk. Children naturally take a deep interest in such stories. The reading of them will
not only give pleasure but will help to lay the foundation for broader literary studies since nearly all are the
subjects of frequent allusions in poetry and prose. Young children will enjoy having these stories read to them, while
older children will delight in reading them to themselves.
  
  
  
  A decidedly different autobiography,
originally published under the pseudonym Robert Dudley, eventually revealed to be James Baldwin. A portrayal of life in
rural Indiana in the middle of the 19th century it certainly is, but it is so much more. In the words of Mr. Howland, an
editor for the original publisher, "It is difficult to describe just what there is so remarkable about this book, but it
is undeniably wonderful. It is literature. It is a strange combination of autobiography and fiction, and records only
the simplest happenings -- the life of people in the Indiana backwoods, the primitive life, the commonplace experiences,
the visits between neighbors. To tell about it in this way does not make it sound remarkable, yet it is. The style is
simple and clear; there is a quiet humor running through it, and in other places the reading brings tears to the eyes."
Suitable for ages 10 and up.
  
  
  
  Delightful retelling in sample language of the stories of the old Greek mythological
heroes, and their encounters with Jupiter and the other Olympians. While each story can be read independently, they can
also be read as a continuous narrative, with one story leading to the next. Includes the myths of Prometheus, Io,
Cadmus, Perseus, and Theseus. A pronunciation guide and numerous illustrations accompany the text. Suitable for ages 8
and up.
  
  
  

 Far away in the Frozen Land in the long ago time a master wizard forged the wondrous Sampo or mill of fortune, which
ground out all sorts of treasures and gave wealth and power to its owner. This story, retold in prose from the Finnish
Kalevala, tells of the making of this magic mill with its pictured lid of rainbow colors and of the adventures of the
heroes who sought to gain possession of it.
  
  
  
  Here are related the daring feats and great
exploits of Roland, worthiest of the barons of France in the time of Charlemagne, and those of Oliver and Reinold and
Ogier the Dane, all heroes who were his companions in arms and who rivalled him in the number and greatness of their
exploits. The story is culled from the works of song-writers and poets of five centuries and in as many languages.
Suitable for ages 11 and up.
  
  
  
  Legends of the Nibelungen hero, Siegfried, full of the mystery, awe, and poetry of the
northern lands. They tell of how Siegfried forged the wondrous sword, Balmung, of his riding through flaming fire to
awaken the maiden, Brunhild, and of the many other strange and daring deeds which he wrought. Many of the Norse myths
are interwoven in the tale. The best rendition for children of the Siegfried legends, based on the Eddas, the Volsung
Saga, and the Nibelungenlied. Suitable for ages 11 and up.
  
  
  
  This volume was written by the author in
answer to the requests of hundreds of children for more stories like the ones they had enjoyed in "Fifty Famous Stories
Retold." Since this book is intended for slightly older students (ages 7 to 10), the anecdotes related have a greater
spirit of adventure matching the interests of these older students. We hear of the explorers Columbus, Balboa, Drake,
and Ponce de Leon and their adventures in the New World. We see scientists at their moment of inspiration: Newton
pondering the fall of an apple, Galileo observing the swinging lamps, and Archimedes yelling "Eureka!" We observe the
persistence of Gutenberg in improving the printing press and James Watt in harnessing the energy of steam. We thrill to
the exploits of the heroes at the fall of Troy and rejoice with Penelope at Odysseus's homecoming. We follow the
fortunes of Rome from its founding through its wars with Carthage. We travel eastward with King Richard and Frederick
Barbarossa during the Crusades. We applaud when King John signs the Magna Charta at Runnymede. The richer vocabulary and
more complicated plot elements in these stories of historical events, scientific discoveries, and legendary heroes,
gradually accustom children to following a longer narrative.
