A collection of tales by Eugene Field, the American writer, best known for poetry for children and for humourous essays. He first started publishing poetry on the side in 1879, when his book Christian Treasures appeared. Over a dozen more volumes followed, and he became well known for his light-hearted poems for children; perhaps the best known is Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.

But once--O most unhappy day For you, my brook!--Came Cousin Sam along that way; And, having lived a spell out West, Where creeks are n't counted much at best, He neither waded, swam, nor leapt, But, with superb indifference, stept Across that brook--our mighty brook! Why do you scamper on your way, You little brook, When I come back to you to-day? Is it because you flee the grass That lunges at you as you pass, As if, in playful mood, it would Tickle the truant if it could, You chuckling brook--you saucy brook? Or is it you no longer know--You fickle brook--The honest friend of long ago? The years that kept us twain apart Have changed my face, but not my heart--Many and sore those years, and yet I fancied you could not forget That happy time, my playmate brook! Oh, sing again in artless glee, My little brook, The song you used to sing for me--The song that's lingered in my ears So soothingly these many years; My grief shall be forgotten when I hear your tranquil voice again And that sweet song, dear little brook! LITTLE MISTRESS SANS-MERCI Little Mistress Sans-Merci Fareth world-wide, fancy free: Trotteth cooing to and fro, And her cooing is command--Never ruled there yet, I trow, Mightier despot in the land. And my heart it lieth where Mistress Sans-Merci doth fare. Little Mistress Sans-Merci--She hath made a slave of me! "Go," she biddeth, and I go--"Come," and I am fain to come LONG AGO 241 Never mercy doth she show, Be she wroth or frolicsome, Yet am I content to be Slave to Mistress Sans-Mercil Little Mistress Sans-Merci Hath become so dear to me That I count as passing sweet All the pain her moods impart, And I bless the little feet That go trampling on my heart:...

With big tin trumpet and little red drum, Marching like soldiers, the children come !THE SUGAR-PLUM TREE 28 And you carry away of the treasure that rains As much as your apron can hold !WYNKEN, BLYNKEN AND NOD .62 Wynken, Blynken and Nod one night Sailed off in a wooden shoe Sailed on a river of crystal light, Into a sea of dew. THE LITTLE PEACH 96 John took a bite and Sue a chew, And then the trouble began to brew, Trouble the doctor couldn tsubdue. Too true! THE DINKEY-BIRD ,120 In an ocean, way out yonder (A sall sapient people know), Is the land of Wonder-W ander, Whitherchildren love to go.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
