Racehorse Publishing's Quintessential Children's Classics series is
a collection of timeless children's literature. Handsomely packaged
and affordable, this new series aims to revitalize these enchanting
works, and continue the tradition of sharing them with the next
generation of readers. Flash back to your childhood. We all
remember hearing the remarkable, rhyming tales from a mystery woman
known only by the name "Mother Goose." Having been reprinted
hundreds of times and passed down from generation to generation,
Mother Goose's stories are some of the most popular children's
poetry in the world. Originally made popular in the 17th century,
these rhymes were on the forefront of fairy tale literature, and
are often cited as the beginning of the genre. Now, these nursery
rhymes are made available again in this stunning re-packaging of
the classic Volland edition. This edition includes over one hundred
and ten of Mother Goose's most famous nursery rhymes, a foreword,
and full color illustrations on every page by renowned illustrator
Frederick Richardson.
Introductory volume in the series of Reading-Literature readers,
whose purpose is to train children in reading and appreciating
literature through the reading of literature. Contains nine of the
best folk tales, true to the original, and yet written in such a
simple style that children can quickly begin reading the real
story. Includes The Little Red Hen, The Gingerbread Boy, The Old
Woman and Her Pig, The Boy and the Goat, The Pancake, Chicken
Little, Three Billy Goats Gruff, Little Tuppens, and Little
Spider's First Web. Attractive black and white illustrations are
appealing to children.
Third volume in the series of Reading-Literature readers, whose
purpose is to train children in reading and appreciating literature
through the reading of literature. The Second Reader introduces
fables and fairy stories and continues folk tales and simple poems.
The material is organized: a group of fables, several groups of
folk and fairy stories, a group of Mother Goose, of Rossetti, of
Stevenson, and so on; so that the child may get a body, not a mere
bit, of one kind of material before passing to another. Thus from
the first he is trained to associate related literature and to
organize what he reads. Attractive black and white illustrations
are appealing to children. Suitable for ages 7 and up.
The Red Indian Fairy Book was originally published in 1917. This
edition contains all sixty-four of the original stories and all
seventeen of the original illustrations and the original color
plate (used on the cover). Of special interest to storyteller
Fourth volume in the series of Reading-Literature readers, whose
purpose is to train children in reading and appreciating literature
through the reading of literature. The Third Reader, while
continuing with folk and fairy stories, introduces the wonder tale,
which becomes the dominant note, while the fable gives place to
more extended and more modern animal stories. The poetry begins
with the group from Stevenson, whom the children have already
learned to enjoy. Then follow selections from Lydia Maria Child,
Lucy Larcom, Eugene Field, and a score of others dealing mainly
with children's interests in animals and other forms of nature.
With this series of books, besides merely learning to read, the

forming his taste for all subsequent reading. Attractive black and
white illustrations are appealing to children. Suitable for ages 8
and up.

delight. This new offering from Benediction is a hand-edited,
full-colour version, not to be confused with cheaper
black-and-white reproductions.
