Excerpt from The Book of Nature Myths The subject-matter is of permanent value, culled from the folk-lore of the primitive races; the vocab ulary, based upon that of the Hiawatha Primer, is increased gradually, and the new words and phrases will add to the child's power of expression. The naive explanations of the phenomena of nature given by the primitive races appeal to the child's wonder about the same phenomena, and he is pleased and interested. These myths will gratify the child's desire for complete stories, and their intrinsic merit makes them valuable for oral reproduction.

Excerpt from Nature Myths and Stories for Little Children For instance the child has been observing, read ing, and writing about -the sun, the moon, the direction of the wind, the trees, the owers, or the forces that are acting around him. He has had the songs, poems, and pictures connected with these lessons to further enhance his thought, inter est, and observation. He is now given a beautiful myth. He is not expected to interpret it. It is presented for the same purpose that a good picture is placed before him. He feels its beauty, but does not analyze it. If, through his observation or something in his experience, he does see a meaning in the story he has entered a new world of life and beauty. Then comes the question to every thoughtful teacher, Can the repetition of words necessary to the growth of the child's vocabulary be obtained in this way? This may be accomplished if the teacher in plan ning her year's work, sees a close relation between the science, literature, and number work, so that the same words are always recurring, and the interest in each line of work is constant and ever increasing.

Excerpt from Nature Myths of Many Lands Nearly every country has its myths, and most of them are Nature Myths. They represent the explanations of the phenomena of nature by primi tive pe0p1e. The primitive mind, like the mind of a child, endows all natural objects with life, and, to a certain degree, with the feelings and moral responsibilities of human beings. Hence, natural phenomena which are beyond the comprehension of men are regarded as mysteries due to powers either residing in them or ruling over them similar to human powers, though greater, and controlled by motives like those of men. In these attempts to explain nature is the origin of Nature Myths. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Indian Nature Myths The stories of this book have been chosen for the purpose of showing how the early Red Men accounted for the phenomena of nature the presence of the birds, the moaning of the wind, the whispering of the leaves. The nature myths of the North American Indian are full of poetry, and occasionally of a rich humor. In retelling the stories for children the author has sought to retain the original spirit of the tales, and through them to give to the reader a better understanding of the inner life and thought of the primitive Red Man at his best. The tales have been gathered from many sources, and are representative of many tribes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
