It is because I have found that children love Stockton's stories, that they appreciate the delicate bits of humor found in them, and enjoy discussing the ethical questions suggested, that I have arranged in this book a few of the favorites, easily read by children from eight to ten years of age.
I believe, also, that children can best learn to read by reading what is best in literature.
This little volume, then, is the result of repeated tests with children of various ability in the reading of Stockton's stories. The results proved that the language is simple and childlike, the thought natural, and the story itself intensely interesting.
Notes and suggestive questions for each story, except "The Christmas Truants," which is so simple that it does not seem to need them, are given at the end of the book. These, it is believed, will be found helpful to the teacher and pupil and aid in securing the best results.

Рождество — главный праздник в году, и пропустить его грешно не только живым, но и давно умершим. Старик же Эплджой, как-никак, призрак семейный, поэтому бремя сохранения традиций и забота о чести семьи ложится на его плечи.

Представляем читателю сборник рассказов Ф. Стоктона, известного у нас, в основном, по одному рассказу: «Девушка (леди) или тигр?» Этот сборник отнесен составителями к юмористическим, и мы, пожалуй, с ними согласимся, назвав этот юмор не «искрометным», а «мягким».

In the spring of a certain year, not far from the close of the nineteenth century, when the political relations between the United States and Great Britain became so strained that careful observers on both sides of the Atlantic were forced to the belief that a serious break in these relations might be looked for at any time, the fishing schooner Eliza Drum sailed from a port in Maine for the banks of Newfoundland.
