【實用書籍app】Christmas in Legend and Story, Elva S. Smith|最夯免費app-綠色工廠好玩App

In our experience in library work with children we have learned that it isvery difficult to find Christmas stories and legends which have literarymerit, are reverent in spirit, and are also suitable for children. Thiscollection has been made in an endeavor to meet this need, and thus to beof service to parents, teachers, and librarians.Most of the stories and poems in this book are of the legendary type. Theyhave been chosen from a wide variety of sources and represent the work ofmany writers. There are other stories also, which, although not strictlytraditional, have the same reverent spirit and illustrate traditionalbeliefs and customs. These have been included for their literary value andtheir interest for young people.In the arrangement of the selections we have followed the natural order ofthe events in preference to grouping the stories for boys and girls ofdifferent ages.Although no attempt has been made to adapt the legends for story-telling,most of them may be used for that purpose. Many of the selections are alsowell suited for reading aloud.Above all it is hoped that this book may bring real joy to the boys andgirls for whom it has been compiled.
