About this book
Talking animals and an enchanted fish bring the ordinary world into contact with magic in this collection for young readers. Edited by Hamilton Wright Mabie with Edward Everett Hale and William Byron Forbush, Childhood's Favorites and Fairy Stories gathers fairy tales, children's stories, fables, nursery rhymes and poetry. The selections include the town musicians of Bremen and the Grimm brothers' tale of a fisherman whose wife asks for a better home after he releases a talking flounder.
The introductory pages argue that books belong among the necessities of family life and that imaginative reading matters from early childhood. They also explain the use of simpler language in some selections for younger children. Readers can explore varied forms of storytelling in one volume, while parents interested in reading aloud will find an accompanying account of why stories and verse deserve a place in the home.
