The Children's Hour, v 5. Stories From Seven Old Favorites

The Children's Hour, Volume V of ten illustrated volumes, gathers stories from seven old favorites, arranged by Eva March Tappan. The contents list The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan, with Christian Passes Through the Wicket Gate, A Visit to the House of the Interpreter and The Castle of Giant Despair. The contents also give Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe, with Robinson Crusoe Is Shipwrecked and Unloading a Wreck.

A scene has Christian see a man of a very stout countenance come up to the man that sat there to write, saying Set down my name, Sir, and cut his way through them all and press forward into the Palace. Sancho Panza runs as fast as his ass could drive to help his master, and Don Quixote tells him Peace, friend Sancho: there is nothing so subject to the inconstancy of fortune as war. A scene has Bassanio tell Portia of his borrowing the money of Antonio, of Antonio's procuring it of Shylock, and of the bond by which Antonio had engaged to forfeit a pound of flesh.
