··· lezzter Preis 1.99€ ··· 9783849608002 ··· 1036142318 ··· If anyone believes that style does not appeal to the young readers, let him open Mr. Andrew Langs `The Animal Story Book` (Jazzybee Publishing), and read to any intelligent child of nine years Dumas` description of Mysouf I., Mysouf II., and Pritchard, and note how soon Dumas becomes a living personality to the child. Then let him turn and read, out of the same book, the account of ` Cowper and his Hares.` Bess and Puss and Tiney were doubtless as interesting in their way as the dogs and cats and monkeys owned by Dumas but the child does not care for them - he begs you to read more from Dumas. Young as the child is, Dumas has cast a spell around him - the spell of a sparkling and animated style. Mr. Lang`s ` Animal Story Book ` ought to delight both old and young, as one may find therein pen-portraits of most of the remarkable animals that have interested the world since primitive times. And because authors are, as a class, peculiarly fond of animals, the reader of this charming book is brought into intimate relations with Pliny, Théophile Gautier, and many other remarkable men. This book is annotated with a rare extensive biographical sketch of the author, Andrew Lang, written by Sir Edmund Gosse, CB, a contemporary poet and writer.
