The book’s price, which is very nominal, covers the time and effort that has been taken out to put everything together and formatted the materials for your convenience.It is for your interest why this book has been made in one easy, readable and the most convenient possible place for you. Most of the e-books available online are not made for an average reader or even for readers who want the simplest book possible for easy reading. This e-book is of good quality for a very affordable price. This volume, though intended also for the children's own reading and for reading aloud, is especially planned for story-telling. The latter is a delightful way of arousing a gladsome holiday spirit, and of showing the inner meanings of different holidays. As stories used for this purpose are scattered through many volumes, and as they are not always in the concrete form required for story-telling, I have endeavored to bring together myths, legends, tales, and historical stories suitable to holiday occasions. There are here collected one hundred and twenty stories for seventeen holidays—stories grave, gay, humorous, or fanciful; also some that are spiritual in feeling, and others that give the delicious thrill of horror so craved by boys and girls at Halloween time. The range of selection is wide, and touches all sides of wholesome boy and girl nature, and the tales have the power to arouse an appropriate holiday spirit.

A collection of seventy-seven English and Scottish ballads and English and American narrative poems.

Product Description: Fables, myths, legends, tales, romantic or historical in treatment, are told in rhythmic form, and often in a logical manner that makes it easy to retell the plots. If the story-teller learns her story by reading over and over again a ballad or other story-telling poem, and retells the same in simple prose paraphrase, she will find that her vocabulary is enriched, and that the rhythm of the original lends a swing and added charm to her prose rendering of the poem...read more
