The Christmas Angel, by Abbie Farwell Brown

Children ought to have stories at hand precisely as they ought to have food, toys, games,

playgrounds, because stories meet one of the normal needs of their natures. But these stories,

like the food given to the body, ought to be intelligently selected, not only for their quality

but for their adaptation. There are many good books which ought not to be in the hands of children

because children have not had the experience which interprets them; they will either fail to

understand, or if they understand, they will suffer a sudden forcing of growth in the knowledge of

life which is always unwholesome. This book collects many famous stories. Please enjoy it.
