The author, Thomas Day, has reproduced in this volume "such stories as [he] thought adapted to the faculties of children, but [has connected] them by a continued narration; so that every story might appear to rise naturally out of the subject, and might, for that reason, make the greater impression. To render the relation the more interesting to those for whom it was intended, [he has] introduced two children as the actors, and [has] endeavoured to make them speak and behave according to the order of nature." Many an English child has been benefited by the entertaining plots and morals within. (excerpted from the author's Introduction)
