CHILDREN’S CLASSICS IN DRAMATIC FORM;

This children stories book is intended to accomplish three distinct purposes: first, stories for children,these are english stories, to arouse a greater interest in oral reading; second,these bedtime stories were created to develop an expressive voice—sadly lacking in the case of most Americans today. and third, to give freedom and grace in the bodily attitudes and movements which are involved in reading and speaking. The stories given are for the most part adaptations of favorite tales from folklore,--Andersen, Grimm, Aesop, and the Arabian Nights having been freely drawn upon.ahort kids story along with classic stories have been written as a series of short kids tales.
Children are dramatic by nature. They are for the time the kings, the fairies, and the heroes that they picture in their imaginations. They are these characters with such abandon and with such intense pleasure that the on-looker must believe that nature intended that they should give play to this dramatic instinct, not so much formally, with
classic stories. enjoy
