About This Book

Practical guidance for selecting wholesome, age-appropriate reading for children, youth, and adults, arranging recommendations by audience—little ones, school classes, boys, drawing-room readers—and by subjects such as scripture, history, biography, natural history, science, mythology, fairy tales, and allegory. The text stresses the value of school and parish libraries, cultivating literary taste to deter harmful reading, and choosing books that support moral and educational aims. It also offers suggestions for mothers’ meetings, missionary working-parties, communal readings, and annotated lists with notes on suitability and instructional use.
