Books with title Children's Stories from Dickens

Charles Dickens was one of the greatest among the many story-writers of "the Victorian age;" that is, the middle and latter part of the Nineteenth Century, when Victoria was Queen of Great Britain. Perhaps he was the greatest of them all for now, a generation after he passed away, more people read the stories of Dickens than those by any other author of that period. In those wonderful writings are found many pictures of child-life connected with the plan of the novels or stories. These child-stories have been taken out of their connections and are told by themselves in this volume.

Excerpt from Stories From the for ChildrenIf you close your eyes, perhaps you can see her in imagination, in her little red dress with a blue cape round her shoulders, going to the Village well with a brown earthen jar to draw water for her mother to use in their little home. For in those days each family did not have a well of their own, or draw their water from a faucet in the house, as we do; but they had a large public well, or fountain, where all the women went for water. Sometimes, when they were not too busy, the girls and women would stand a long time together at the well, and tell each other all the happenings of the day and the gos sip of the neighbouring Villages. They had no news papers then, and the people had to learn from one another what was going on here and there.And the little Mary used to help her mother with the spinning and the weaving, for they made all their own clothes, and usually the cloth of which the clothes were made. We may be sure, from what we learn of her in after life, that no girl in the village could weave a smoother cloth than hers, or sew a straighter seam. So she lived, quietly and happily like any other girl, until she had grown to be as tall as her mother, and was a young woman and no longer a little girl.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The first story in this little book is one I wrote in 1997. I had a dream to write Children’s Books even before then. It is called Free to Good Home. The illustrations are all mine, with a few exceptions. I had fun working on them with Leela, my dog, sleeping beside me. The second story is called, The Storm. It is a true story of me and my three little cousins and an adventure that we had. It was a very scary time for me and it seemed to unfold like a movie script as it was happening. I again, wrote this in 1997. This took place in 1968. I was quite surprised at the emotions that came up for me as I was getting the story ready to put into this book. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have enjoyed writing them.
