Look inside…<\/a><\/p>\n

Description:  <\/span>This volume was written by the author in answer to the requests of hundreds of children for more stories like the ones they had enjoyed in Fifty Famous Stories Retold<\/em>. This volume includes stories of historical events, scientific discoveries, and legendary heroes. The richer vocabulary and more complicated plot elements in these stories gradually accustom children to following a longer narrative.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
