Opera Stories From Wagner - A Reader For Primary Grades (Illustrated)

Florence Akin here interprets for the child one of the world's literary masterpieces. In simple, conversational style so much enjoyed by children, she tells the four stories of Wagner's "The Nibelung Ring," which weaves into one the strange and beautiful myths and legends of Northern Europe.

From the heart of the race they bear their lesson of good and evil.

The text is especially adapted to the development of expression and to dramatization. Careful consideration has been given to the selection of words, that they may not require too much explanation by the teacher, and yet may afford reasonable growth for the child's vocabulary. The book is planned for use in the second and third grades.
