Excerpt from Children's Book CollectionAll that he could find likely to give her plea sure or amusement would Lotto bring up to her little gloomy room, so that Lotto's visits often enabled her to fill up well the time of his absence. The ripest melon to be had in the market, or the most tempting bunch of grapes would be sure to find their way to her, while the seasons were marked to her by the fresh bunches of flowers that Lotto would gather for her in the fields and woods around the city. Mina's most favourite playthings, however, were the scraps and fragments of glass that Lotto collected for her out of his father's workshops. He was a favourite with the workmen, and when not too busy they would mould him ornaments of glass and make him little coloured glass beads to take to his little sick sister who lay ill up stairs. Mina had thus a large collection of pieces of stained glass, with which she used to amuse herself in making all kinds of devices and patterns on the table before her and of threading necklaces and rosaries of coloured beads, she was never tired. She had, however, other employments of a more useful kind, for she could plait straw very neatly, of which she made baskets and mats, and could embroider very prettily in coloured silks and wools, so that in spite of her im prisonment she was seldom idle, and even when Lotto was with her, her little fingers would be busy over some little present or other for her friends.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

MP3 CD Format Christmas brings out the best and the worst in us, as can be seen in this evocative anthology. Among what Thomas Love Peacock calls the ""many poetical charms in the heraldings of Christmas,"" there are eulogies by saints and diatribes from curmudgeons. Here, Christmas is expounded by divines, sung by rustics, deplored by philosophers, and made mystical in stories. This collection includes complete versions of old favorites and new discoveries: a sermon by Lancelot Andrewes, an account of Christmas under the Puritans, a first, poverty-stricken Christmas in turn-of-the-century New York, and a Mummers' play.Adding the final touch is the music--from traditional Christmas carols to Arcangelo Corelli to Benjamin Britten. On this recording, Christmas past brings alive Christmas present.
