My Bookhouse: Through Fairy Halls - Olive Beaupré Miller

Descriere My Bookhouse: Through Fairy Halls - Olive Beaupré Miller

\nFull of delightful fairy tales, charming poems, and engaging stories, the My Bookhouse series for children was published in the 1920s by Olive Beaupré Miller as a six-volume set. The books contained the best in children's literature and progressed through a natural, carefully graded order, from the simplest poems and stories to those that are more complex. Miller set high standards for the books: \n \n \n\n \n First, -To be well equipped for life, to have ideas and the ability to express them, the child needs a broad background of familiarity with the best in literature.\n \n Second, -Stories and rhymes must be selected with care that the child may absorb no distorted view of life and its actual values, but may grow up to be mentally clear about values and emotionally impelled to seek what is truly desirable and worthwhile in human living.\n \n Third, -The stories and rhymes selected must be graded to the child's understanding at different periods of growth, graded as to vocabulary, as to subject matter and as to complexity of structure and plot.\n \n \n\n \nThe series would eventually include twelve volumes. The original volumes included: \n \n \n\n \n Volume 1, In the Nursery (1920)\n \n Volume 2, Up One Pair of Stairs (1920)\n \n Volume 3, Through Fairy Halls (1920)\n \n Volume 4, The Treasure Chest (1920)\n \n Volume 5, From The Tower Window (1921)\n \n Volume 6, The Latch Key (1921)\n \n \n\n \nThe series is an ideal teaching aid for parents who want to help their children read well, think clearly, and absorb the most important lessons that literature has to teach.\n \n \n\n \nThis volume, a facsimile of the original 1920 edition of Through Fairy Halls, features classic fairy tales, legends, and folk stories from around the world. It also features the color illustrations included in the original edition of the book. It is printed on acid-free, archival-quality paper for durability and long use.\n \n \n\n
