A Illustrated collection of stories where children are being told many different incredible stories about amazing creatures and circumstances. Juliana Ewing gives her readers a collection of charming 19th century stories suited for a relaxing afternoon of reading under a shade tree. Juliana Horatia Ewing was a 19th century writer of children's books. Her books were considered to be the first really well written books for children in English literature. This book includes THE BROWNIES, THE LAND OF LOST TOYS, AN IDYLL OF THE WOOD, and AMELIA AND THE DWARFS. The Brownies: A little girl sat sewing and crying on a garden seat. She had fair floating hair, which the breeze blew into her eyes, and between the cloud of hair, and the mist of tears, she could not see her work very clearly. She neither tied up her locks, nor dried her eyes, however; for when one is miserable, one may as well be completely so.

Excerpt from A Flat Iron for a Farthing: Or, Some Passages in the Life of an Only SonAN apology is a sorry Preface to any book, how ever insignificant, and yet I am anxious to apologise for the title Of this little tale. The story grew after the title had been (hastily) given, and so many other incidents gathered round the incident Of the purchase Of the flat iron as to make it no longer important enough to appear upon the title page. It would, however, be dishonest to change the name Of a tale which is reprinted from a Magazine; and I can only apologise for an appearance Of affectation in it which was not intended.As the Dedication may seem to suggest that the character Of Mrs. Bundle is a portrait, I may be allowed to say that, except in faithfulness, and tenderness, and high principle, she bears no likeness to my father's dear Old nurse.It may interest some Of my child readers to know that the steep street and the farthing wares are real remembrances out Of my own childhood. Though whether in these days Of advanced prices, the flat irons, the gridirons with the three fish upon them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
