Excerpt from Wonder Tales of the Ancient World For, indeed, instead of being the dark, gloomy, mysterious people that we are apt to imagine them, the Egyptians were really one of the gayest, most light-hearted, and most easily amused of peoples. They were very fond of music and singing, and some of the oldest songs in all the world are the Simple old verses that the workmen used to sing at their work - the fisherman as he hauled his nets, the farm-servant as he drove the oxen round and round to tread out the corn. They were very fond of sports of all kinds - fishing and fowling and hunt ing and when their work or their sport was done, there was nothing they liked better than a big feast, with plenty to eat and drink, with garlands of roses to fasten on their heads, and sweet scents to fill the rooms with pleasant odour, and musicians, dancers, and acrobats to keep things going cheerily.

Excerpt from Wonder Tales of the Ancient World The tales contained in the following chapters are practically all that have survived of their kind in ancient Egyptian literature. One or two stories have been omitted, either because they are too fragmentary to he capable of satisfactory retelling, or because, as in the ease of the story of Wen-Amen, the narrative, though very valuable as history, has not much interest merely as a story; but those who read this volume will have a fair idea of the whole extant output of Egyptian literature in the department of fiction. The version given is free in the sense that some of the crudities of life which the ancient Egyptian expressed in remarkably plain language have been either omitted or expressed in accordance with more modern ideas, and that in some cases, which are all indicated, connecting links or conclusions have been suggested where the existing manuscripts are defective.

Excerpt from Wonder Tales From the Greek Roman Myths The religion Of the early Greeks and Romans, like that Of most of the ancient nations Of their time, was very closely interwoven with the history Of their country and the deeds Of their most famous heroes; and though, before the intro duction Of Christianity, it had fallen into a very corrupt state, in its earlier and purer forms it had much that was beautiful in it, and many great truths were hidden in the myths and fables relating to the various gods and goddesses wor shipped by its adherents.

Offerings of milk, honey, and cakes are made to these 'outsiders' in certain spots which they are believed to frequent and the country-women, when they see the wind-driven clouds scudding overhead, repeat aloud the words, Honey and milk to avert all evil from themselves. Tempestuous weather is also sometimes attributed to the festivities attend ant On a wedding among the Nereids. They are held to marry, as a rule, male beings of their own kind; but they also occasionally fall in love with mortal men, who, if they return their affection and prove faithful to them, are rewarded with great prosperity.

Excerpt from Tales of Ancient Greece The Tales collected in this volume have, with one exception, appeared in the 'Tales from Greek Mythology, ' 'The Gods and Heroes, ' and 'Tales of Thebes and Argos.' The 'Tales from Greek Mythology' were written for the use of young children. It has been found necessary to modify a few of these stories, to bring them nearer to the level of the rest. The story of the 'Vengeance of Odysseus' has been added to complete the series of legends from the Odyssey, so as to give some idea of that poem as a whole. In place of the longer introductions prefixed to the 'Gods and Heroes' and to the 'Tales of Thebes and Argos, ' a new introduction is given, tracing each story to its earliest form, and resolving it into its original elements. I have here placed before the reader results rather than proofs. Recent discussions on the subject seem to justify the conviction that the foundations of the science of Comparative Mythology have been firmly laid, and that its method is unassailable.

Excerpt from A Wonder Book In performing this pleasant task, for it has been really a task fit for hot weather, and one of the most agreeable, of a literary kind, which he ever undertook, the author has not always thought it necessary to write downward, in order to meet the comprehension of children. He has generally suffered the theme to soar, whenever such was its tendency, and when he himself was buoyant enough to follow without an effort. Chil dren possess an unestimated sensibility to what ever is deep or high, in imagination or feeling, so long as it is simple likewise. It is only the arti ficial and the complex that bewilder them.
