Excerpt from Alice and Tom: Or the Record of a Happy Year In introducing "Alice and Tom" to a wider circle of grown-up and child friends, the author has endeavored to present: - First, a picture of free, healthy, hearty child-life: of loving and courteous relations between child and child, and between children and their older friends and lovers. Second, a picture of child-life in its relations with the great, outside world of nature, a quickening of the recognition of that kinship between all created things, of the love, tenderness, and reverence which should grow from this knowledge, of the growth of a sense of law and beauty which such knowledge inspires. Third, a realization of what the poets and great thinkers have felt about these things. While the book does not claim to outline any series of nature lessons, it aims to present clearly a definite method of procedure. It is hoped that many of the chapters will suggest a series of lessons, which the teacher may carry out, specimens in hand. These lessons should precede rather than follow the reading of the chapters. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
