Written in Toronto in 1929, this guide to good reading for boys and girls begins with a young Charles Dickens walking the streets of London and goes on to the Waverley novels and Scott’s own life, Shakespeare’s plays, the Bible and the old ballads that crossed the sea with the first settlers, telling the story behind each book to tempt children toward it.
A warm invitation to the classics, useful to parents and teachers building a family reading list. Download the free EPUB.
