Excerpt from Wonder Tales of the World Nge upon a time there was a family that went by the name of Badger, because every one, from Grandmother to the smallest child, was as industrious as those diligent little creatures. They lived in a forest in America and belonged to the tribe of the Sioux. There were no cities in America then and the Americans were strong and handsome and sunburnt because they lived out-oi - doors and made everything they needed for themselves. Everything they made, whether it was a birch-bark cradle or a buckskin shirt, was decorated with beautiful patterns and colours, just as the birds and owers were deco rated and adorned.

Book Description
Excerpt from Thirty More Famous Stories Retold It is now more than a year since you read my "Fifty Famous Stories." Those stories, as you will remember, are quite short and easy. Before you had finished your second year at school you could read every one of them without stopping to study the meaning of the words. Many thousands of children have read those fifty stories, and then they have asked for more; and this is my excuse for the present volume. You are older now, and you have learned many things which you did not know when we first became acquainted. You are able to read almost everything. And so, in telling you "Thirty More Famous Stories," I have chosen more difficult subjects and have not been so careful to select the shortest and easiest words. Still, you will not find this book hard to read, neither do I think it will prove to be less interesting than the earlier volume. Nearly all the stories are true, and there are not more than three or four that might not have happened. In every one there is something worth learning and remembering.

Book Description
Excerpt from Another Round of Stories But Jane was as true to Old Cheeseman as Old Cheeseman was false to our fellows in their opinion at all events - and steadily continued to be his only friend. It was a great exasperation to the Society, because Jane was as much a loss to them as she was a gain to him; and being more inveterate against him than ever, they treated him worse than ever. At last, one morning, his desk stood empty, his room was peeped into and found to be vacant, and a. Whisper went about among the pale faces of our fellows that Old Cheeseman, unable to bear it any longer, had got up early and drowned himself. The mysterious looks of the other masters after breakfast, and the evident fact that Old Cheeseman was not expected, confirmed the Society in this opinion. Some began to dis cuss whether the President was liable to hanging or only transportation for life, and the President's face showed a great anxiety to know which. However, he said that a. Jury of his country should find him game; and that in his address he should put it to them to lay their hands upon their hearts, and say whether they as Britons approved of Informers, and how they thought they would like it themselves. Some of the Society considered that he had better run away until he found at Forest, where he might change clothes with a woodcutter and stain his face with blackberries; but the majority believed that if he stood his ground, his father belonging as he did to the West Indies, and being worth Millions - could buy him off.

G.: Mr. Wells is a novelist and story writer who has attracted much attention of late years. His works run entirely on the theme of the unreal and strange, yet he pictures them so cleverly that the reality is almost startling in its intensity. His later stories deal with the world as he imagines it will be thousands Of years hence, but several productions, such as The Invisible Man, tell of strange happenings in the life of to-day.
