Little by Little: Or the Cruise of the Flyaway

Paperback (Forgotten Books Feb. 1, 2018)
Excerpt from Little by Little: Or the Cruise of the FlyawayIN presenting to his young friends the sixth volume of the Library for Young People, -the author cannot be unconscious of what the readers of his former books re quire of him. They will turn the leaves of Little by Little, expecting to find an abundance of stirring incidents; and he hopes they will not be disappointed. Some of the older readers and sterner critics will look for romantic and rather exaggerated events but he thinks they will look in vain, for as we grow older we become more reasonable, and do not expect showers of gold to fall upon every seedy hero, or to see nice young gentlemen leap over lofty preci pioes without sometimes being dashed to pieces.But the author hopes that something more than exciting incidents will be found upon his pages; that, though he has seldom, if ever, gone out of his way to define the moral quality, or measure the moral quantity, of the words and deeds of his characters, the story will not be found wanting in a true Christian spirit.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
