Excerpt from A Stepdaughter of the PrairieI had no sense of making an allegory out of it. At that age, to the fairy-tale-fed child, the line between allegory and reality is scarcely perceptible, anyway. The Word on the horizon was only a matter of course to me. An older person, had it occurred to me to mention the matter, would perhaps have seen something significant, even worthy of sentimental remark, in 'the child's spelling out life on her far hori zon. But to me, mystery as it was, it was also a matter of fact; there it stood, and that was all. Yet it was also a romance, a sort of nu formulated promise. It was related to the far distant, to the remote in time, to the thing that was some day to be known. So I rested my chin on my little arms and watched.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
