  • The Tale of Solomon Owl

    Arthur Scott Bailey

    Paperback (Ulan Press, Aug. 31, 2012)
    This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
  • The Tale of Solomon Owl

    Arthur Scott Bailey

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, April 28, 2016)
    “Whoo-whoo-whoo, whoo-whoo, to-whoo-ah!” That weird cry was enough to send Johnnie Green hurrying into the farmhouse, though sometimes he paused in the doorway to listen—especially if Solomon Owl happened to be laughing. His “haw-haw-hoo-hoo,” booming across the meadow on a crisp fall evening, when the big yellow moon hung over the fields of corn-shocks and pumpkins, sounded almost as if Solomon were laughing at the little boy he had frightened. There was certainly a mocking, jeering note in his laughter.

    Arthur Scott Bailey

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, June 25, 2017)
    This is a new edition of “The Tale of Solomon Owl,” originally published in 1917 by Grosset & Dunlap Publishers, New York. Part of the project Bedtime-Tales Series of classic literature, this is a new edition of the classic work published in 1917—not a facsimile reprint. Obvious typographical errors have been carefully corrected and the entire text has been reset and redesigned by Pen House Editions to enhance readability, while respecting the original edition. If you happened to catch Solomon Owl resting among the thick hemlocks near the foot of Blue Mountain, where he lives, you will think that he looks strangely like a human being. He has no “horns,” or ear-tufts, such as some of the other owls wear; and his great pale face, with its black eyes, makes him seem very wise and solemn. But there is another very interesting thing about him: he has lots of forest friends. One of the most important things a parent can do for their child’s education is to read to them. Arthur Scott Bailey’s books will hold the child’s interest, expand their intelligence and foster their love of reading. But just a few words would be enough to describe Bailey’s beautiful books: Charming, sweetly humorous, simply and well-written children’s books. About the Author: Arthur Scott Bailey was born in Vermont on November 15, 1877. He was an American writer, intellectual and author of more than forty children's books, including the famous “Tuck-Me-In Tales,” the “Sleepy-Time Tales,” and the “Slumber-Town Tales.” One of his most admirable qualities was the fact that he never used language that talked down to children; instead, he frequently used words beyond their average vocabulary in an effort to broaden their knowledge. Bailey was a graduate of Harvard. He died on October 17, 1949.
