A little about the book
A schoolbook reader for ten- and eleven-year-olds, put together by James Baldwin. It mixes stories, poems and short histories: Washington Irving's Sleepy Hollow, Kingsley's The Sands o' Dee, the invention of printing, Robert Fulton's steamboat, the passing of King Arthur and much more.
Each piece is a gateway to bigger books, and the biographical notes and word lists help young readers along. A good glimpse of what American children were reading in school around 1900.
