Books with author Charles Carroll

It happened one Christmas eve, when Davy was about eight years old, and this is the way it came about. That particular Christmas eve was a snowy one and a blowy one, and one generally to be remembered. In the city, where Davy lived, the storm played all manner of pranks, swooping down upon unwary old gentlemen and turning their umbrellas wrong side out, and sometimes blowing their hats quite out of sight; and as for the old ladies who chanced to be out of doors, the wind came upon them suddenly from around corners and blew the snow into their faces and twisted their petticoats about their ankles, and even whirled the old ladies themselves about in a very painful way. And in the country, where Davy had come to pass Christmas with his dear old grandmother, things were not much better; but here people were very wise about the weather, and stayed in-doors, huddled around great blazing wood fires; and the storm, finding no live game, buried up the roads and the fences, and such small fry of houses as could readily be put out of sight, and howled and roared over the fields and through the trees in a fashion not to be forgotten.

The Admiral’s Caravan by Charles E. Carryl The Admiral’s Caravan By Charles E. Carryl Children's Literature is either books specifically written for children, or literature which has subsequently been deemed to be appropriate for children. Thus for example The Three Musketeers may not have been intended as book for children, but was later became acknowledeged as a children's "classic". All of which is, of course, problematic. Children come in all shapes and sizes (and ages), so the term is vaguely applied to any works for anyone under the age of 18. We have no subdivision into "age-appropriate" groups, so that Mother Goose sits happily along side Gulliver's Travels. Moreover, taste and ideas about children have changed over time, so that, for example, The Water Babies or The Happy Prince may no longer be considered suitable for their intended audience. Parents should consider carefully before subjecting their children to some of the items on this list. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

CHAPTER I DOnO'rnY AND THE ADMIRAL THE Blue Admiral Inn stood on the edgo of the shore, with its red brick walls, and its gabled roof, and the old willow-trees that overhung it, all reflected in the quiet water as if the harbor had been a great mirror lying upon its back in the sun. This made it a most attractive place to look at.
