Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Tom and the Money KingAs for the boy, there he sat, perched upon his high stool, stopping and starting the elevator, opening and shutting its door, as passenger after passenger escaped from the box which carried him or her upstairs. He only gave the number of each floor as he reached it, but he spoke out sharply, and now he said Seventh.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"William O. Stoddard has written capital books for boys....Among the best specimens of 'juveniles" produced anywhere. In his latest volume, "Winter Fun,' Mr. Stoddard gives free rein to his remarkable gift of storytelling for boys. Healthful works of this kind cannot be too freely distributed among the little men of America." -New York Journal of Commerce "The story of two city children who spent the winter in the country and shared country sports. It is a capital book." -The Atlantic Monthly "The book is enlivened with a racy and genuine humor. It is, moreover, notably healthy in its tone, and in every way is just the thing for boys." -Philadelphia North American "It is full of fun, liveliness, and entertainment." -Portland Press "There are few writers of boys' books who present boy life in the strong, sympathetic, manly way that Mr. Stoddard does. His good boys are genuine, fun-loving, careless, but royal-hearted." -Boston Post "Among the more prominent juveniles published by this firm, whose tastes in juveniles is proverbial, are Winter Fun, by William O. Stoddard, so well-known to boys by his 'Dab Kinzer,' 'Saltillo Boys, etc.'" -Literary News "The fun was in the circle of Deacon Joshua Farnham's family, in Benton village, on the other side of the Atlantic, where some city cousins were spending the winter. They hunted, skated, sleighed, and had a picnic in the snow, while round the fireside they had games and word battles. Thus the reader will find himself a partner in their winter fun." -The Bookseller "An account of old-fashioned winter pleasures in the country, with rabbit-hunts, winter picnics, donation-parties, and snow fights, to say nothing of a bear and a wolf or two. The account of the spelling-bee is particularly amusing, with the usual difficulties enhanced by the unfortunate pronunciation of the elder who gave out the words." -The Critic "'Winter Fun' is a capital book for young folks, written by Mr. William O. Stoddard, than whom we have no better purveyor of that kind of literature. Mr. Stoddard understands his audience to a nicety, and is always humorous, interesting and full of matter. Various winter sports, bear, deer, and rabbit hunting, spelling-bees, skating and sleighing frolics, winter picnic parties, etc., are charmingly described in this book, which is various ways is almost as good reading for parents as for children." -The American "All the mirth and sports of a winter in the country. The vigorous sports described gives a hearty tone to the book." -The Chautauquan
