Author sP reface A SUFFICIENT apology for the following book exists in the unique position occupied by Auguste Rodin to-day, not only among the sculptors of his own country, but in other lands on both sides of the A tlantic. Without attempting to establish any exact and definite precedence for his achievement over that of all others, it may be safely asserted that his name will rank in the future among the foremost of the great masters of the statuary art. Eminence in foreigners England has always been quick to recognise, andR odins election to the Presidency of the International Society of Sculptors, Painters, and Gravers, in the place of Whistler, did no more than give an official character to the esteem in which he has long been held in our country. To write a life of Rodin, in the usual acceptation of the word, is almost an impossibility. The record is rather that of an immense labour in which all else has been merged. I ndeed, to such an extent intellectually has he lived in his art and for his art that, whereas other mens memories are filled with anecdotes of the past that enable the hearer to reconstruct whole periods of personal history, Rodin sreminiscences seldom arouse but to the touch of some chord connected with his work, or, if they are awaked by accident, he regards them with indifference. I ndeed, when speaking of himself, as he is forced to do in relating the creation of his pieces of sculpture and the struggles that have been waged round them, there is an absence of egoism and a curious identification of his personality with his productions that are very remarkable.(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 tec

Wilt is unhappy: he has trouble keeping up with others, playing games, and climbing into the tree house because his legs are too short. So Wilt builds stilts and wears them to keep up, play games, and climb into the tree house. He is teased: "Wilt's on Stilts!", and his parents find uses for Wilt's new height. Wilt does not want to be useful, so he builds new stilts that are so long that he can walk a mile in only two-and-a-half steps! Only after he’s traveled for a year around the world on his stilts does Wilt return home, happy with himself and his own height – a height which is now tall enough for Wilt to keep up with others, play games, and climb into the tree house.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work.

We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.
