“Children delight in folk-tale and fairy lore, but the very little child loves best the story which mirrors the familiar. And it is for him, and for the mother who is striving in this age of profusion to guard the innate simplicity of her child's nature, that I have written my little stories.” ChildrenLittlesStoriesAgeMotherLove IsWrittenMirrorsStriveSimplicityFolksDelightTalesFamiliarFairyInnateChildren Love Book:A story garden for little children Source: A story garden for little children
“I think the world is like a great mirror, and reflects our lives just as we ourselves look upon it. Those who turn sad faces toward the world find only sadness reflected. But a smile is reflected in the same way, and cheers and brightens our hearts. You think there is no pleasure to be had in life. That is because you are heartsick and-and tired, as you say. With one sad story ended you are afraid to begin another-a sequel-feeling it would be equally sad. But why should it be? Isn't the joy or sorrow equally divided in life?” ThinkingWorldWayShouldLooksHeartStoriesFeelingsWould BeFacesJoyTurnsPleasureOur LivesSadnessSorrowMirrorsTiredLook UpDividedCheerSequelsSad StorySad Face Book:Delphi Complete Works of L.
