Book Description
Excerpt from The Three Little Graves With steamboats and sailing vessels. Then you look just around you, and see the most beautiful terraces and roads, and lovely val leys, and little silver lakes. What a very pleasant place this is, you say. Who lives here? Ah! My dear children, there are a great many little marble and granite houses here, but no one lives in them. Do you not know this is the place of the dead? All around us there are human bodies lying. But they are sleeping that long sleep from which no one of them will awake, until the morning of the Resurrection. Old grandfathers and grand mothers, and parents, and boys and girls, and tiny babes. Oh! How many are slum bering in Greenwood! They are all what we call dead. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Three Little Spades C.hildren, I have written this little book to help you to get acquainted with a set of the sweetest friends a child can have. I have lived among flowers all my life, so I ought to know. But you can not be real friends without taking some pains for it. Do you feel acquainted with a little girl because you have seen her walk down Broadway in a red cloak and a white tippet - as little do you know the violets that look out with their fair blue eyes from the baskets of the flower-sellers on the street corner. Where did they come from? How did they grow? How can they sweeten even that great thoroughfare of business and mud? Did you ever wish you were like a violet? Because if you didn't, you don't begin to know them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
