Description: This book is a must-have for any collector or lover of classic children's literature. Written by Charles Kingsley and edited by Thomas J. SHAHAN, Ages ago, when the world was young, people did not know as much of nature and its secrets as we do now. Moreover, they did not have the art of writing, or if known to them, it was used only by a few, and its value for handing down the facts of history was not clearly understood. Thus, two great fields of knowledge, the world of nature and the world of history, were known only in a dim and vague way. Yet men and women were even then anxious to find out the causes of what they saw about them in nature, as well as to know whence and how they came to their native lands, through what journeys and labors, who were their ancient leaders in war, the builders of their cities, the founders of their laws and customs, and the like. In this book, the editor tells us of Beowulf, Rip van Winkle, Odysseus, the Argonauts, King Arthur and many tales more. This hardcover edition is a true gem. Published by Kingsport Press in 1955, the book is filled with captivating myths and legends that will transport readers to another world. The English language and the topic of classics make this book a valuable addition to any bookshelf. It belongs to the antiquarian and collectible category and is a great choice for those who love books and magazines.
