Publisher's Synopsis
Journeys Through Bookland: A New And Original Plan For Reading Applied To The World's Best Literature For Children V4 is a book written by Charles H. Sylvester. It is the fourth volume in a series that aims to introduce children to the best literature from around the world. The book is designed to guide young readers on a journey through different literary genres, including poetry, fiction, and non-fiction. It features classic stories and poems from renowned authors such as William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, and Robert Louis Stevenson. The book is divided into different sections, each of which covers a specific topic or theme. The author has carefully selected the works included in the book to ensure that they are age-appropriate and engaging for young readers. The book is an excellent resource for parents and educators who want to introduce children to the joys of reading and help them develop a lifelong love of literature.One of the fine things about good poetry is that it will not only bear study and examination, but will yield new beauty and new pleasure as it is better understood. For instance, take the first stanza above. Lowell says Longfellow's poetry is sweet and easily understood and that one line follows another smoothly. To make us see how smoothly, he makes a beautiful comparison, draws for us an exquisite picture. As smooth, he says, as is our own river Charles when at night, fearing to disturb by so much as a single ripple the reflection of the crescent moon, a mirrored skiff, it glides along noiselessly but whispering gently to the reeds that line its shores.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
