PREFACE
Reading edition
Many of the selections of this little volume of child’s verse have appeared from time to time in “The Youth’s Companion”, “Ladies’ World”, “Farm and Home”, “Outlook”, “Sunday School Times”, “Forward”, and “The Independent”; and if, in bringing them together, occasionally here and there verses a trifle beyond “the barefoot time” have crept in, perhaps they were not unintentionally admitted for “children of a larger growth”.
