"[...] And the queerest part of all is that the birds blamed the Magpie for the whole matter, and have never liked her since. But, as you may have found out for yourselves, that is often the fate of wise folk who make discoveries or who do things better than others. Chapter icon THE GORGEOUS GOLDFINCH[...]."

"[...]turned, dived under dark archways and through dirty alleys, down flights of steps, until he was out of breath and too dizzy to go further. He had come out on the highroad, it seemed. The little brown cottages were farther apart here. It was more like the country, which Gigi loved. He turned into an enclosure and hid behind a stack of straw, panting. [Illustration: Gigi runs away.] He wondered if by this time they had discovered his flight, and he shivered to think of what Tonio and Cecco were saying if it were so. He[...]."

The Book of Saints and Friendly Beasts by Abbie Farwell Brown Twenty legends of saints who have been befriended by birds and beasts. "Delightful....Here is an unworked mine of moral tales of great beauty and delicate charm. Many of the medieval saints were so simple and childlike, like Saint Francis and his school, others were so sensible and efficient, like Saint Theresa and Saint Elizabeth, and still others, like the Irish Saints, had so much quaint poetry in their natures." -The Homiletic Review "Entertaining and attractive...legends of man and beast, joining the fanciful charm of the fairy tale with the practical zest of reality, and a pleasant spirituality, purity, and peace with the ruder phases of mediaeval times. Written ostensibly for children it must appeal to many older readers, and its tender dedication 'in loving memory of a friendly beast' will give it a sure place in many a heart." -The Literary World "From the many quaint and beautiful legends which blossomed during the Christian Age of Credulity, Miss Brown has selected twenty tales of beasts, birds and fishes that were fortunate in having a patron saint. The stories are told simply and directly. The writer reflects well the delightful mingling of naivete, severity and gentleness which characterized one phase of medieval thought. Many books of recent date express the growing sympathy of the modern mind with animal life. These stories will in their own quite different way reinforce that feeling. Miraculous and incredible tho they be, taken literally, they are nevertheless true at the core....We must own to a strong feeling of sympathy for the vegetarian lion who for love of Gerasimus learns to eat porridge and greens." -The Kindergarten for Teachers and Parents "In this book Miss Brown tells in story or in ballad of the Saints who have had beasts and birds for attendants or helpers. They are very attractive stories, bordering closely on the tales of Fairyland; and Miss Brown tells them in a simple style which cannot fail to win the heart of childhood....Altogether, it is a singularly attractive book for children, and parents will enjoy it perhaps just as much." -Publishers Weekly "A group of old legends retold for the young....The idea of the book is a good one, and well carried out." -The Critic "Most delightful....Has given a world of pleasure to hosts of young people." -The Christian Work and the Evangelist "Told in the simplest and most charming manner." -The Journal of American Folklore We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

Curious Book of Birds is a classic birding guide/nature study by Abbie Farwell Brown. There are many bird guides written nowadays which will tell you about birds as folk of the twentieth century see them. They describe carefully the singer's house, his habits, the number of his little wife's eggs, and the color of every tiny feather on her pretty wings. But these books tell you nothing at all about bird history; about what birds have meant to all the generations of men, women, and children since the world began. This book does just that.

"[...]threw into relief the pretty curtains and wreaths of green, and gave glimpses of cosy interiors and flitting happy figures. "What a waste of candles!" scolded Miss Terry. "Folks are growing terribly extravagant." The street was white with snow which had fallen a few hours earlier, piled in drifts along the curb of the little-traveled terrace. But the sidewalks were neatly shoveled and swept clean, as became the eminently respectable part of the city where Miss Terry lived. A long flight of steps, with iron railing at the side, led down from the front door, upon which a silver plate had for generations in decorous flourishes announced the[...]."
