With everything from Aesop to Wordsworth, and stories, poems and songs from Mother Goose to Rudyard Kipling, there is something in this book for any child of any age. These are the classic tales of Peter Pan, Winnie The Pooh, The Velveteen Rabbit, Heidi and Gulliver, familiar nursery rhymes, Jonathan Swift and Shakespeare, to mention a few. 

Also includes The Brownies by Palmer Cox. These are classic stories that have not been softened and dumbed down or made politically correct like so many modern children's books. The illustrations are wonderful, and most are reproductions from the original books.
