Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Pook Press celebrates the great Golden Age of Illustration in children's literature. Many of the earliest children's books, particularly those dating back to the 1850s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pook Press are working to republish these classic works in affordable, high quality, colour editions, using the original text and artwork so these works can delight another generation of children.
Ce roman pour enfants, nous transporte au dix-neuvieme siecle, au sein d'une bourgeoisie aisee, dans un monde essentiellement feminin, ou les hommes ne sont que de pales figures secondaires. Un roman cruel et realiste, ou l'on fouette les petites filles qui ont fait des betises, ou l'on tue les mamans herissons a coups de fusil, mais encore, ou l'on apprend a pardonner, a controler son esprit et ses emotions, a respecter l'autre et a se donner des signes d'amour et de tendresse, en se serrant dans les bras, en s'embrassant, souvent, tres souvent. Les petites filles modeles, de la Comtesse de Segur, apparaissent donc aujourd'hui comme une histoire etrange, presque fabuleuse, alors que l'auteur nous assure, dans sa preface, que ses personnages d'enfants sont bien reels. Les enfants parlent comme des adultes sortant de l'Academie, c'est parfois kitch, parfois cucul, mais cela se laisse lire avec plaisir et ravira, on peut en etre certain, tous les enfants d'aujourd'hui et de demain.

1903. Forty illustrations. In this book a donkey tells the story of his life and adventures, because, as he says: I want you to treat all of us donkeys kindly, and to remember that we are often much more sensible than some human beings. A charming, witty children's story.

This second volume of the "Old French Fairy Tales" by Sophie Rostopchine, Comtesse de Segur (1799-1874) brings us back into the distant realm of the Queen of Fairies and the King of Genii. Luxuriously illustrated by Virginia Frances Sterrett (1900-1931), "The Little Gray Mouse" and "Ourson" keep testifying until today that good old moral values and, above all, love are the best response and the mightiest weapon against all evil, natural or supernatural. In "The Little Gray Mouse," by the power of love, Rosalie is cured of "her greatest fault" curiosity. Also true love, through its gift of seeing beyond the appearances, is the magical key that changes a cruel destiny into a prosperous future for Ourson and his Violette. Not from this world? Not in these times? Maybe. But then again, why not? Along with the first volume of the "Old French Fairy Tales," this book is part of the "Vintage books - restored" collection. |
