Excerpt from Fifty-Two More Stories for BoysWhile nature keeps up the supply of boys and girls, men and women must keep pace with their requirements, and it behoves us all, whether tailors or editors, to rise to our responsibilities in providing clothing for their bodies and food for their minds.That our supplies should exceed the demand no one need fear: the modern boy has developed a prowess for the destruction of clothing, and a voracity in the assimila tion of fiction, that his father never knew; and were it not that his own career is full of the life and incident from which stories may be made for the boy next door, the author and the editor might well fear the exhaustion of materials.Some one has said that the story of any life must be of interest; and if this be true we have only to pass our life stories on from door to door, receiving from the neighbour on our left, and handing on to the neighbour on our right, in order to keep up a continual supply of stories so numerous as to be utterly exhaustless, for by the time our own story has circulated the world, and come back to the old home once more, the house will be empty and the tenant gone.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
