The publishing company, The Bookhouse for Children, was the brainchild of author, and editor Olive Beaupre Miller. She created a collection of children s literature that delighted both children and their parents. Miller was constantly seeking appropriate children s literature to read to her daughter. She considered stories proper if they fit three criteria: They had to be well written, make a positive ethical statement, and be graded to fit the developmental age of the child. If she was unable to find a story or poem that met all three requirements, she wrote one herself. Some of the stories and poems in this volume include: The Booms; David Copperfield and Little Em ly; The Adventures of General Tom Thumb; The Gossamer Spider; Little Gulliver; Meg Merrilies; The Merman; The Sandpiper; A Song of Drake s Men; The Sugar Camp; Thor; Venice; and others.
