This is a delightful collection of little stories for little people, just right to be listened to at bed time by a sleepy boy or girl. Some have a moral, some are just fun and some are poems; but all of them are either written or adapted by the well known author Laura Richards. These bite sized stories are all sweetly reminiscent of by gone days when life seemed simpler and easier for adults and children. [chương_files]

This collection of ten stories, first published in 1904, shows Edith Wharton dissecting some of the customs, habits and vagaries of courtship and marriage, particularly as practiced in the upper reaches of New York society at the turn of the twentieth century (two stories, however, are set in Italy). Fidelity is only one problem; others may arise from the machinations and emotions of the protagonists or outsiders. Wharton handles the questions with her usual gentle (and sometimes not so gentle) irony and curiosity about human behavior. [chương_files]
