Reader's note

Looking for new tales to tell your children or just looking for unique vintage books? Try this lovely edition of Forgotten Tales of Long Ago selected by E.V. Lucas. This decorative book contains twenty stories from early writers for children, the period being roughly 1790 to 1830, with three later and more sophisticated efforts added. The stories may be deemed interesting but if not it may be down to the authors who preferred teaching to entertaining and moral improvement instead of drama. The first story 'Dicky Random', is from a little book published in 1805, entitled 'The Satchel'; or, 'Amusing Tales for Correcting Rising Errors in Early Youth, addressed to all who wish to grow in Grace and Favour'; and the title-page has this motto: 'Put on the cap, if it will fit, And wiser grow by wearing it.' This edition has many wonderful full-page illustrations to accompany these tales of old!
