1920. The publishing company, The Bookhouse for Children, was the
brainchild of author, and editor Olive Beaupre Miller. She created
a collection of children's literature that delighted both children
and their parents. Miller was constantly seeking appropriate
children's literature to read to her daughter. She considered
stories proper if they fit three criteria: They had to be well
written, make a positive ethical statement, and be graded to fit
the developmental age of the child. If she was unable to find a
story or poem that met all three requirements, she wrote one
herself. Some of the stories and poems in this volume include: The
Booms; David Copperfield and Little Em'ly; The Adventures of
General Tom Thumb; The Gossamer Spider; Little Gulliver; Meg
Merrilies; The Merman; The Sandpiper; A Song of Drake's Men; The
Sugar Camp; Thor; Venice; and others. See other titles by this
author available from Kessinger Publishing.
