Child Life in Prose (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Child Life in Prose
It will be seen that a considerable portion of the volume is devot ed to autobiographical sketches of infancy and childhood. It seemed to me that it might be interesting to know how the dim gray dawn and golden sunrise of life looked to poets and philosophers; and to review with them the memories upon which the reflected light of their genius has fallen.
I leave the little collection, not without some misgivings, to the critical, but I hope not unkindly, regard of its young readers. They will, I am sure, believe me when I tell them that if my own paternal claims, like those of Elia, are limited to dream children, I have catered for the real ones with cordial sympathy and tender solicitude for their well-being and happiness.
