Books with title The Heroic Collection

Folklore, legends, myths and fairy tales have followed childhoodthrough the ages, for every healthy youngster has a wholesome andinstinctive love for stories fantastic, marvelous and manifestlyunreal. The winged fairies of Grimm and Andersen have broughtmore happiness to childish hearts than all other human creations.Yet the old time fairy tale, having served for generations, may nowbe classed as “historical” in the children‘s library; for the time hascome for a series of newer “wonder tales” in which the stereotypedgenie, dwarf and fairy are eliminated, together with all the horribleand blood‐curdling incidents devised by their authors to point afearsome moral to each tale. Modern education includes morality;therefore the modern child seeks only entertainment in its wondertales and gladly dispenses with all disagreeable incident.Having this thought in mind, the story of “The Wonderful Wizard ofOz” was written solely to please children of today. It aspires to beinga modernized fairy tale, in which the wonderment and joy areretained and the heartaches and nightmares are left out.L.
