Excerpt from Harry's Big Boots: A Fairy Tale, for Smalle FolkeThere needs no Author's apology for aught written for the young. The mind of childhood contains no criticism; it enjoys the heart of childhood possesses no cynicism; it believes. It would seem thus a wasteful weariness to give a recondite meaning to what will be received with a single-hearted simplicity, were' it not that a parable may ever be either a tale or a sermon, losing nothing of the sweetness of the first for the earnestness of the latter.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
