Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Jessie Carlton: The Story of a Girl Who Fought With the Little Impulse, the Wizard, and Conquered Him
The purpose of the "Glen Morris Stories" is to sow the seed of pure, many character in the mind of our great nation's childhood. They exhibit the virtues and vices of childhood, not in prosy, unreadable precepts, but in a series of characters which i move before the imagination as living beings do before the senses. Thus access to the heart is won by way of the imagination. While the story charms, the truth sows itself in the conscience and in the affections. The child is thereby led to abhor the false and the vile, and to sympathize with the right, the beautiful, and the true. To every parent, teacher, and guardian, who has affinity with these high purposes, the Glen Morris Stories are most respectfully inscribed by their fellow laborer in the field of childhood.
