James Baldwin's Collection are short stories about many famous from "Androclus and the Lion" to "How Napoleon Crossed the Alps" to "The Blind Men and the Elephant." Some recent, some historical, some legend but all wonderful to adding to the rich fabric of a child's experience in culture and history!

Below are some words from James Baldwin in the introduction of his book:

"As a matter of course, some of these stories are better known, and therefore more famous, than others. Some have a slight historical value; some are useful as giving point to certain great moral truths; others are products solely of the fancy, and are intended only to amuse. Some are derived from very ancient sources, and are current in the literature of many lands; some have come to us through the ballads and folk tales of the English people; a few are of quite recent origin; nearly all are the subjects of frequent allusions in poetry and prose and in the conversation of educated people. Care has been taken to exclude everything that is not strictly within the limits of probability; hence there is here no trespassing upon the domain of the fairy tale, the fable, or the myth.

That children naturally take a deep interest in such stories, no person can deny; that the reading of them will not only give pleasure, but will help to lay the foundation for broader literary studies, can scarcely be doubted. It is believed, therefore, that the present collection will be found to possess an educative value which will commend it as a supplementary reader in the middle primary grades at school. It is also hoped that the book will prove so attractive that it will be in demand out of school as well as in."



As a homeschool mom, I was frustrated with the difficulty of finding the old living book gems and was frustrated with reading them from screens, so I began recording these audiobooks! I hope this is helpful to others and enables more to encounter these fantastic books!
