Nightstand Reader for Children

by Mark K. Gilroy (Compiler), Christina Honea (Compiler), Karen Eland (Illustrator)

A collection of the very best in classic and contemporary writings for children, mixing short stories, poetry, inspiring speeches and quotes, and humorous insights on the fine - but far from lost - art of reading. Robert Louis Stevenson, Louis Carroll, Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, Louisa May Alcott, Mother Goose, Jack London, The Brothers Grimm, William Shakespeare (in updated English), the Holy Bible, and many other sources are used to create this truly unique and enjoyable selection of nighttime reading. Bound in an exquisite bonded leather case, with a whimsical full color illustration "tipped on" the cover. Four raised hubs on the spine, classic rough-cut edges, generous gold stamping, and a silky ribbon marker complete the impressive packaging. Perfect as a gift or self-purchase for anyone who loves to indulge themselves with a few moments of great reading before retiring for the night. But each book is also ideal for the home decorator who wants to add a touch of class to a nightstand in their bedroom, a child's bedroom, or the guest room.
