Excerpt from Little BusybodiesAnd we who wrote this book? Well, we, too, have been children. We used to climb trees and turn somersaults; why But that is another story! And we remember so well what it used to be like to have to learn dull things we did not wish to know. SO we said to ourselves, as we looked over our spectacles at each other, N 0, they sha'n't be told a single uninteresting fact; they sha'n't be dull, poor dears, as we were so long ago, before we put on spectacles and began to call ourselves wise.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
