In Sunshine And In Shadow Classic Reprint

Excerpt from In Sunshine and in Shadow At the request of many friends I publish this little volume of poems and short stories, written by my beloved granddaughter. Much has necessarily been omitted, as they were for the most part written down on anything available at the moment - backs of envelopes, pieces of music, margins of books - in pencil, and in many instances almost illegible. Thus I have had great difficulty in collecting them; but I rest satisfied that, whatever their faults, they will meet with no harsh criticism, for her dear sake.

Excerpt from Through Shadow to Sunshine He is fully conscious of its many demerits as a literary effort, and trusts this frank acknowledgement will, as much as is proper; disarm criticism. It has been written at odd times, snatched from the most possible busy, active life, in many cases during hours that should have been devoted to sleep. The scenes are mostly given just as he knew them in some cases not even the name being changed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Lyrics of Sunshine and Shadow A Boy's Summer Song 'Tis fine to play In the fragrant hay, And romp on the golden load; To ride old Jack To the barn and back, Or tramp by a shady road. To pause and drink, At a mossy brink; Ah, that is the best of joy, And so I say On a summer's day, What's so fine as being a boy? Ha, Ha! With line and hook By a babbling brook, The fisherman's sport we ply; And list the song Of the feathered throng That flit in the branches nigh.

Excerpt from Genius in Sunshine and Shadow Ten ancient towns contend for Homer dead, Through which the living Homer begged his bread. The cautious historian only tells us that he is sup posed to have flourished about nine hundred years before the time of Christ; while there are also learned writers who contend that no such person as Homer3 ever lived, and who attribute the two most famous poems of antiquity to various minstrels or ballad mongers, who celebrated the tale of Troy divine at various periods, and whose songs and legends were fused into unity at the time of Pisistratus.
