DEDICATION.
To John and Jane, to Fred and Frank,
To Theodore and Mary,
To Willie and to Reginald,
To Louis, Sue and Gary;
To sturdy boys and merry girls,
And all the dear young people
Who live in towns, or live on farms,
Or dwell near spire or steeple;
To boys who work, and boys who play,
Eager, alert and ready,
To girls who meet each happy day
With faces sweet and steady;
To dearest comrades, one and all,
To Harry, Florrie, Kate,
To children small, and children tall,
This book I dedicate.
PREFACE.
Boys and girls, I am proud to call a host of you my personal friends,
and I dearly love you all. It has been a great pleasure to me to arrange
this gift book for you, and I hope you will like the stories and
ballads, and spend many happy hours over them. One story, "The Middle
Daughter," was originally published in Harper's "Round Table," and is
inserted here by consent of Messrs. Harper and Brothers. Two of the
ballads, "Horatius," and "The Pied Piper," belong to literature, and you
cannot afford not to know them, and some of the fairy stories are like
bits of golden coin, worth treasuring up and reading often.
