Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Elson Primary School Reader, Vol. 2
This Reader introduces the child to some of the best stories in the field of children's literature, - tales which have been told and retold to the delight of countless generations of boys and girls of all lands. Thus, the child in learning to read is given selections which are both interesting and worth while as lit crary possessions. Six fables, twenty-two fairy and folk tales, nineteen poems, and four modern pieces of literary merit offer an attractive second-year course in literature.
While these stories are simple, they have been chosen largely for their dramatic quality. They are therefore valuable for the purpose of oral reproduction. Entire stories are given in order to satisfy the child's longing for the completed narrative.
