About this book
Bible Stories and Religious Classics is by Philip P. Wells, with an introduction by Anson Phelps Stokes, Jr., illustrated by Beatrice Stevens, 1903. The introduction says that there never was a time when the demand for books for young people was so great as it is to-day. A flood story says the cataracts of heaven were opened, that is to say the clouds, and it rained on the earth forty days and forty nights. A story about Noah says he opened the window and desired sore to have tidings of ceasing of the flood, and sent out a raven for to have tidings.
A story of Paul and Nero has Paul say to Nero, "I shall suffer a little while, but I shall live eternally with my Lord Jesu Christ." A story set in a laundress's miserable room has Maren and the boy feast on a few roasted potatoes and a little bit of bacon, begged from the sheriff's cook for the sick woman, while the patient is satisfied with the smell of them.
