TO

MY DEAR NEPHEW

CHARLES VAUGHAN

TO CHARLIE

AND ALL THE OTHER LITTLE

BOYS AND GIRLS

My dear Charlie,--

Yon are very fond of stories; and so, I think, are all the other little
boys and girls that I have ever known, and most of the grown-up people
too. When you grow older, if you still like them--and I think you
will--you will find that there are stories everywhere if only you are
able to see them.

In this little book they are not quite the same kind as those that your
Auntie used to tell you. I think they are nicer, for they are about
things that have really happened; and the boys and girls and grown-up
people that you read about in them were real people.

Some of those stories were so interesting, and some of them so
beautiful, that they were written down for other people to read; and
that is how history-books came to be made.

I hope that you will like to read about the people who lived long ago,
and that these little tales may show you that history is made up of
stories about people just like ourselves.

HILDA T. SKAE.
