Her hair was yellow, and her face was yellow because she\r\nhad been born in India and had always been ill in one way or another.

So when she was a sickly,\r\nfretful, ugly little baby she was kept out of the way, and when she became a\r\nsickly, fretful, toddling thing she was kept out of the way also. She never\r\nremembered seeing familiarly anything but the dark faces of her Ayah and the\r\nother native servants, and as they always obeyed her and gave her her own way\r\nin everything, because the Mem Sahib would be angry if she was disturbed by her\r\ncrying, by the time she was six years old she was as tyrannical and selfish a\r\nlittle pig as ever lived.

Her home was a large,\r\n      dull, tall one, in a large, dull square, where all the houses were alike,\r\n      and all the sparrows were alike, and where all the door-knockers made the\r\n      same heavy sound, and on still daysand nearly all the days were\r\n      stillseemed to resound through the entire row in which the knock\r\n      was knocked. On Miss Minchin's door there was a brass plate. On the brass\r\n      plate there was inscribed in black letters,\r\n    \n\r\n      Little Sara Crewe never went in or out of the house without reading that\r\n      door-plate and reflecting upon it. By the time she was twelve, she had\r\n      decided that all her trouble arose because, in the first place, she was\r\n      not Select, and in the second she was not a Young Lady. When she was\r\n      eight years old, she had been brought to Miss Minchin as a pupil, and left\r\n      with her. Her papa had brought her all the way from India. Her mamma had\r\n      died when she was a baby, and her papa had kept her with him as long as he\r\n      could. And then, finding the hot climate was making her very delicate, he\r\n      had brought her to England and left her with Miss Minchin, to be part of\r\n      the Select Seminary for Young Ladies. Sara, who had always been a sharp\r\n      little child, who remembered things, recollected hearing him say that he\r\n      had not a relative in the world whom he knew of, and so he was obliged to\r\n      place her at a boarding-school, and he had heard Miss Minchin's\r\n      establishment spoken of very highly. The same day, he took Sara out and\r\n      bought her a great many beautiful clothesclothes so grand and rich\r\n      that only a very young and inexperienced man would have bought them for a\r\n      mite of a child who was to be brought up in a boarding-school. But the\r\n      fact was that he was a rash, innocent young man, and very sad at the\r\n      thought of parting with his little girl, who was all he had left to remind\r\n      him of her beautiful mother, whom he had dearly loved. And he wished her\r\n      to have everything the most fortunate little girl could have; and so, when\r\n      the polite saleswomen in the shops said, Here is our very latest thing in\r\n      hats, the plumes are exactly the same as those we sold to Lady Diana\r\n      Sinclair yesterday, he immediately bought what was offered to him, and\r\n      paid whatever was asked. The consequence was that Sara had a most\r\n      extraordinary wardrobe. Her dresses were silk and velvet and India\r\n      cashmere, her hats and bonnets were covered with bows and plumes, her\r\n      small undergarments were adorned with real lace, and she returned in the\r\n      cab to Miss Minchin's with a doll almost as large as herself, dressed\r\n      quite as grandly as herself, too.\r\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 137 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Burnett, Frances Hodgson \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Mar 8, 2006 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Burnett, Frances Hodgson,1849-1924 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43211088691357,"sku":"gb-137-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/137_758d68db-5cdd-4601-9dc6-e3825d0031a9.jpg?v=1671247479"},{"product_id":"a-little-princess-gb-146","title":"A Little Princess","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Little Princess\r - Being the whole story of Sara Crewe now told for the first time\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nOnce on a dark winter's day, when the yellow fog hung so thick and\r\nheavy in the streets of London that the lamps were lighted and the shop\r\nwindows blazed with gas as they do at night, an odd-looking little girl\r\nsat in a cab with her father and was driven rather slowly through the\r\nbig thoroughfares.\r\n\n\r\nShe sat with her feet tucked under her, and leaned against her father,\r\nwho held her in his arm, as she stared out of the window at the passing\r\npeople with a queer old-fashioned thoughtfulness in her big eyes.\r\n\n\r\nShe was such a little girl that one did not expect to see such a look\r\non her small face.

I\r\nsay written for children because the new psychological\r\nbusiness of writing about them as though\r\nthey were small pills or hatched in some especially\r\nscientific method is extremely popular to-day.\r\nWriting for children rather than about\r\nthem is very difficult as everybody who has tried\r\nit knows. It can only be done, I am convinced,\r\nby somebody having a great deal of the child\r\nin his own outlook and sensibilities. Such was\r\nthe author of The Little Duke and The\r\nDove in the Eagles Nest, such the author of\r\nA Flatiron for a Farthing, and The Story\r\nof a Short Life. Such, above all, the author of\r\nAlice in Wonderland. Grownups imagine\r\nthat they can do the trick by adopting baby[viii]\r\nlanguage and talking down to their very critical\r\naudience. There never was a greater mistake.\r\nThe imagination of the author must be a childs\r\nimagination and yet maturely consistent, so that\r\nthe White Queen in Alice, for instance, is\r\nseen just as a child would see her, but she continues\r\nalways herself through all her distressing\r\nadventures. The supreme touch of the white\r\nrabbit pulling on his white gloves as he hastens\r\nis again absolutely the childs vision, but the\r\nwhite rabbit as guide and introducer of Alices\r\nadventures belongs to mature grown insight.\nGeniuses are rare and, without being at all\r\nan undue praiser of times past, one can say without\r\nhesitation that until the appearance of Hugh\r\nLofting, the successor of Miss Yonge, Mrs.\r\nEwing, Mrs. Gatty and Lewis Carroll had not\r\nappeared. I remember the delight with which\r\nsome six months ago I picked up the first Dolittle\r\nbook in the Hampshire bookshop at\r\nSmith College in Northampton. One of Mr.\r\nLoftings pictures was quite enough for me.\r\nThe picture that I lighted upon when I first\r\nopened the book was the one of the monkeys[ix]\r\nmaking a chain with their arms across the gulf.\r\nThen I looked further and discovered Bumpo\r\nreading fairy stories to himself. And then\r\nlooked again and there was a picture of John\r\nDolittles house.\nBut pictures are not enough although most\r\nauthors draw so badly that if one of them happens\r\nto have the genius for line that Mr. Lofting\r\nshows there must be, one feels, something in his\r\nwriting as well. There is. You cannot read the\r\nfirst paragraph of the book, which begins in the\r\nright way Once upon a time without knowing\r\nthat Mr. Lofting believes in his story quite\r\nas much as he expects you to. That is the first\r\nessential for a story teller. Then you discover\r\nas you read on that he has the right eye for the\r\nright detail.

They are also logical and interesting.\r\nSo I have used them whenever I could find an opportunity, and it is but\r\njust that I acknowledge my indebtedness to my little friends.\r\n\n\r\nMy, what imaginations these children have developed!  Sometimes I am\r\nfairly astounded by their daring and genius.  There will be no lack of\r\nfairy-tale authors in the future, I am sure.  My readers have told me\r\nwhat to do with Dorothy, and Aunt Em and Uncle Henry, and I have obeyed\r\ntheir mandates.  They have also given me a variety of subjects to write\r\nabout in the future: enough, in fact, to keep me busy for some time.  I\r\nam very proud of this alliance.  Children love these stories because\r\nchildren have helped to create them.  My readers know what they want\r\nand realize that I try to please them.  The result is very satisfactory\r\nto the publishers, to me, and (I am quite sure) to the children.\r\n\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 517 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Baum, L.

Men and women lived simply and\r\nquietly.  They were Nature's children, and breathed fresh air into\r\ntheir lungs instead of smoke and coal gas; and tramped through green\r\nmeadows and deep forests instead of riding in street cars; and went to\r\nbed when it grew dark and rose with the sun--which is vastly different\r\nfrom the present custom.

They become Americanized less easily than children of other\r\n      nationalities, and both in dress and outward appearance retain their\r\n      foreign look, while few, even after several years residence, acquire even\r\n      a passable knowledge of the English language.\r\n    \n\r\n      In undertaking, therefore, to describe this phase of street life, I found,\r\n      at the outset, unusual difficulty on account of my inadequate information.\r\n      But I was fortunate enough to make the acquaintance of two prominent\r\n      Italian gentlemen, long resident in New YorkMr. A. E. Cerqua,\r\n      superintendent of the Italian school at the Five Points, and through his\r\n      introduction, of Mr. G. F. Secchi de Casale, editor of the well-known Eco\r\n      dItaliafrom whom I obtained full and trustworthy information. A\r\n      series of articles contributed by Mr. De Casale to his paper, on the\r\n      Italian street children, in whom he has long felt a patriotic and\r\n      sympathetic interest, I have found of great service, and I freely\r\n      acknowledge that, but for the information thus acquired, I should have\r\n      been unable to write the present volume.\r\n    \n\r\n      My readers will learn with surprise, probably, of the hard life led by\r\n      these children, and the inhuman treatment which they receive from the\r\n      speculators who buy them from their parents in Italy.

None the less, it is quite\r\nunlike his other writings.  All his life long his pen was busy\r\ninterpreting nature and pictures and architecture, or persuading to\r\nbetter views those whom he believed to be in error, or arousing, with\r\nthe white heat of a prophet's zeal, those whom he knew to be\r\nunawakened. There is indeed a good deal of the prophet about John\r\nRuskin.  Though essentially an interpreter with a singularly fine\r\nappreciation of beauty, no man of the nineteenth century felt more\r\nkeenly that he had a mission, and none was more loyal to what he\r\nbelieved that mission to be.\r\n\n\r\nWhile still in college, what seemed a chance incident gave occasion and\r\ndirection to this mission. A certain English reviewer had ridiculed the\r\nwork of the artist Turner.  Now Ruskin held Turner to be the greatest\r\nlandscape painter the world had seen, and he immediately wrote a\r\nnotable article in his defense.  Slowly this article grew into a\r\npamphlet, and the pamphlet into a book, the first volume of \"Modern\r\nPainters.\"  The young man awoke to find himself famous.  In the next\r\nfew years four more volumes were added to \"Modern Painters,\" and the\r\nother notable series upon art, \"The Stones of Venice\" and \"The Seven\r\nLamps of Architecture,\" were sent forth.\r\n\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 701 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Ruskin, John \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Oct 1, 1996 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Ruskin, John,1819-1900 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43211162288285,"sku":"gb-701-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/701_6cc18aaf-7a07-4c41-a717-b476fd9d1732.jpg?v=1671248643"},{"product_id":"somebody-s-little-girl-gb-702","title":"Somebody's Little Girl","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSomebody's Little Girl\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nIf I were just to tell the things that Bessie Bell remembered I should\r\ntell you some very strange things.

One day they had the good\r\nfortune to find in the sandpit a strange creature. Its eyes were on long horns\r\nlike snails eyes, and it could move them in and out like telescopes. It\r\nhad ears like a bats ears, and its tubby body was shaped like a\r\nspiders and covered with thick soft furand it had hands and feet\r\nlike a monkeys. It told the childrenwhose names were Cyril,\r\nRobert, Anthea, and Janethat it was a Psammead or sand-fairy. (Psammead\r\nis pronounced Sammy-ad.) It was old, old, old, and its birthday was almost at\r\nthe very beginning of everything. And it had been buried in the sand for\r\nthousands of years. But it still kept its fairylikeness, and part of this\r\nfairylikeness was its power to give people whatever they wished for. You know\r\nfairies have always been able to do this. Cyril, Robert, Anthea, and Jane now\r\nfound their wishes come true; but, somehow, they never could think of just the\r\nright things to wish for, and their wishes sometimes turned out very oddly\r\nindeed. In the end their unwise wishings landed them in what Robert called\r\na very tight place indeed, and the Psammead consented to help\r\nthem out of it in return for their promise never never to ask it to grant them\r\nany more wishes, and never to tell anyone about it, because it did not want to\r\nbe bothered to give wishes to anyone ever any more.

Oh dear! I shall be late!' (when\r\nshe thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought\r\nto have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite\r\nnatural); but when the Rabbit actually took a watch out of its\r\nwaistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on,\r\nAlice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that\r\nshe had never before seen a rabbit with either a\r\nwaistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with\r\ncuriosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was\r\njust in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the\r\nhedge.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 928 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Carroll, Lewis \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: May 1, 1997 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Carroll, Lewis,1832-1898 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43211203477661,"sku":"gb-928-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/928_89183edd-9875-4990-ac00-1ee1f1ecec1c.jpg?v=1671249090"}],"url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/collections\/juvenile-fiction.oembed?page=858","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
