A Cathedral Courtship
By: Kate Douglas Wiggin
SHE
Winchester,May28,1891
The Royal Garden Inn.
We are doing the English cathedral towns, aunt Celia and I. Aunt Celia has an intense desire to improve my mind. Papa told her, when we were leaving Cedarhurst,
that he wouldn't for the world have it too much improved, and aunt Celia remarked that, so far as she could judge, there was no immediate danger;
with which exchange of hostilities they parted. |

Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp
By:Anonymous
There once lived a poor tailor, who had a son called Aladdin, a careless, idle boy who would do nothing but play all day long in the streets with little idle boys
like himself. This so grieved the father that he died; yet, in spite of his mother's tears and prayers, Aladdin did not mend his ways. One day, when he was playing
in the streets as usual, a stranger asked him his age, and if he was not the son of Mustapha the tailor. "I am, sir," replied Aladdin; "but he died a long while ago.
" On this the stranger, who was a famous African magician, fell on his neck and kissed him saying: "I am your uncle, and knew you from your likeness to my brother.
Go to your mother and tell her I am coming." Aladdin ran home and told his mother of his newly found uncle. "Indeed, child," she said, "your father had a brother,
but I always thought he was dead."

A Young Folks' History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
By: Nephi Anderson
A Parable
Once upon a time the owner of a very large garden planted therein a tree, the fruit of which was very precious and of great value to all who ate of it.
For a time, the tree grew and bore much good fruit. But the owner of the garden had an enemy who went about secretly sowing seeds of weeds and all manner
of briers and brush, that they might spread all over the garden and kill out the good tree which the master had planted. The enemy also persuaded many of
the workmen in the garden to neglect the good tree, and let the briers and weeds grow up around it and so prevent its growth. Thus in time the once precious
fruit of the good tree became wild and scrubby, no better than the enemy's trees which grew around it.

Andersen's Fairy Tales
By: Hans Christian Andersen
Many years ago, there was an Emperor, who was so excessively fond of new clothes, that he spent all his money in dress. He did not trouble himself in the least about his soldiers; nor did he care to go either to the theatre or the chase, except for the opportunities then afforded him for displaying his new clothes. He had a different suit for each hour of the day; and as of any other king or emperor, one is accustomed to say, "he is sitting in council," it was always said of him, "The Emperor is sitting in his wardrobe."

Around the World in 80 Days
by Jules Verne
Mr. Phileas Fogg lived, in 1872, at No.7, Saville Row, Burlington Gardens. He was one of the most noticeable members of the Reform Club,
though he seemed always to avoid attracting attention. This Phileas Fogg was a puzzling gentleman, about whom little was known, except that
he was a polished man of the world. People said that he resembled the poet Byron - at least that his head was Byronic; but he was a bearded,
peaceful Byron, who might live on a thousand years without growing old.

Black Beauty
By: Anna Sewell
The first place that I can well remember was a large pleasant meadow with a pond of clear water in it. Some shady trees leaned over it, and rushes and water-lilies grew at the deep end. Over the hedge on one side we looked into a plowed field, and on the other we looked over a gate at our master's house, which stood by the roadside; at the top of the meadow was a grove of fir trees, and at the bottom a running brook overhung by a steep bank.

Clotel Or The President's Daughter
By: William Wells Brown
MORE than two hundred years have elapsed since the first cargo of slaves was landed on the banks of the James River, in the colony of Virginia, from the West coast of Africa. From the introduction of slaves in 1620, down to the period of the separation of the Colonies from the British Crown, the number had increased to five hundred thousand; now there are nearly four million. In fifteen of the thirty-one States, Slavery is made lawful by the Constitution, which binds the several States into one confederacy.

Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz
By: L. Frank Baum
The train from 'Frisco was very late. It should have arrived at Hugson's Siding at midnight, but it was already five o'clock and the gray dawn
was breaking in the east when the little train slowly rumbled up to the open shed that served for the station-house. As it came to a stop the conductor
called out in a loud voice:
"Hugson's Siding!"
At once a little girl rose from her seat and walked to the door of the car, carrying a wicker suit-case in one hand and a round bird-cage covered up with
newspapers in the other, while a parasol was tucked under her arm.

Everything Will Be Different
By: Anonymous
The Davenport house was split over four floors in a style of design which used to be
called ‘open plan’. The ground floor was separated by stairs from the lounge through to the
dining room and kitchen. There were more stairs up to two of the bedrooms and then more stairs
again up to the last two bedrooms. This meant that heat, aromas and sound travelled upwards
very efficiently. There was no need to listen too hard to over-hear the odd parental conversation.
Lucy, aged 8 and Christopher, aged 12, sat perfectly still and silent on the top landing. They were
squashed against the rear wall with Christopher’s feet protruding into the bathroom and Lucy’s
pointed neatly under the bottom shelf of the landing bookcase. They were listening silently with
breath held.

Glinda of Oz
By: L. Frank Baum
Glinda, the good Sorceress of Oz, sat in the grand court of her palace, surrounded by her maids of honor -- a hundred of the most beautiful girls of the
Fairyland of Oz. The palace court was built of rare marbles, exquisitely polished. Fountains tinkled musically here and there; the vast colonnade, open to
the south, allowed the maidens, as they raised their heads from their embroideries, to gaze upon a vista of rose-hued fields and groves of trees bearing
fruits or laden with sweet-scented flowers. At times one of the girls would start a song, the others joining in the chorus, or one would rise and dance,
gracefully swaying to the music of a harp played by a companion. And then Glinda smiled, glad to see her maids mixing play with work.

Grimms Fairy Tales
by the Grimms Brothers
A certain king had a beautiful garden, and in the garden stood a tree which bore golden apples. These apples were always counted, and about the time
when they began to grow ripe it was found that every night one of them was gone. The king became very angry at this, and ordered the gardener to keep
watch all night under the tree. The gardener set his eldest son to watch; but about twelve o'clock he fell asleep, and in the morning another of the
apples was missing. Then the second son was ordered to watch; and at midnight he too fell asleep, and in the morning another apple was gone. Then the
third son offered to keep watch; but the gardener at first would not let him.
