  • Rhymes of Childhood

    James Whitcomb Riley

    Paperback (Forgotten Books, June 11, 2012)
    English, the conscientious author feels it neither his desire nor province to offer excuse. Wholly simple and artless, Nature schildren oftentimes seem the more engaging for their very defects of speech and general deportment. We need worry very little for their futures since the A ll-K ind Mother has them in her keep. It is just and good to give the elegantly trained and educated child a welcome hearing. It is no less just and pleasant to admit his homely but wholesome-hearted little brother to our interest and love. J. W.
