Über diesen Titel

Aus dem Klappentext

he Modern Library's series of classic compilations to gladden the heart, we are pleased to offer our celebration of mothers and motherhood. As with Christmas Classics, these poems and stories are ideal for sharing aloud--as bedtime stories for the young ones (Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Land of Nod" and Thomas Dekker's "Lullaby"), or in honor of Mother on her special day (the classic "When Mother Reads Aloud" and "Marmee's Lessons" from Louisa May Alcott's Little Women), or anytime throughout the year when--as perhaps we all should remember more often--our mothers deserve thanks.<br> We begin with the story of the Holy Mother Mary from the Gospels according to Luke and Matthew, and move through some of our most cherished poems, such as John Howard Payne's "Home, Sweet Home," Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's "There Was a Little Girl," and William Blake's Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience
