Excerpt from The Children's MunchausenWhen I was younger I seldom read Forewords or even Afterwords to the books I hoped to enjoy, or, having read, had enjoyed. My habit was to think that authors deprived me of pages that might have been much more interestingly used. In fact, I considered prefatory pages and introductions a waste of paper and thieves of my valuable time. Perhaps you feel as I once did about prosy prefaces and serious forewords. If so, I fully understand and sympathize, but as I write these lines I cannot help having the hope that some of you will read them. If you do I am sure you will put something away into your memory store that will give you what I lost as a boy, a more complete and more worth while knowledge of this book and others that you may read. Yes, the preface habit is a good one and does more for us than we realize, besides, it is a rather pleasant way to take a peep into the real inside of the Author's head and heart.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
