מידע על הספר הדיגיטלי הזה

Excerpt: ""Come, children, it is time to go to school!" Grandma Harden waddled out on the front porch of the Happy Home where Nat and Weezie were playing with Rodney and Addie, the boy and girl from next door. Nat, whose real name was Nathaniel, and Weezie, whose real name was Louisa, called their house "Happy Home," because they had so much fun and so many jolly adventures in it. Thump, who was Rodney's dog, was sitting on the bottom step of the porch, waiting for some one to throw a stone, so that he might run after it to bring it back. But Rodney and Nat were too busy, talking about going fishing, to think of throwing stones for Thump. And Weezie and Addie were trying a new dress on Addie's doll, so, of course, they couldn't play with a dog."

על המחבר

Howard Roger Garis (1873-1962) was a prolific American author best known for his contributions to children's literature. Born in Binghamton, New York, Garis began his career as a journalist before transitioning to writing children's books. He gained widespread recognition through his creation of the "Uncle Wiggily" series, featuring the adventures of an elderly rabbit and his woodland friends. These stories, first published in 1910, became a staple of American children's literature, enchanting generations with their whimsical charm and moral lessons.Garis's literary output was staggering; he wrote over 300 books under various pseudonyms, including Victor Appleton, Laura Lee Hope, and Lester Chadwick. His work under the Victor Appleton name contributed to the famous "Tom Swift" series, which inspired future science fiction writers with its inventive spirit and technological foresight.Despite his success, Garis faced criticism for the formulaic nature of his stories and the use of multiple pseudonyms, which some argued diluted the literary quality of his work. However, his ability to capture the imaginations of young readers and his pioneering efforts in serialized children's fiction cannot be overstated.Garis's influence extended beyond his own era, paving the way for contemporary children's authors by demonstrating the commercial viability of serialized storytelling. His work championed the idea that children's literature could be both entertaining and educational, a revolutionary concept at the time.In an age where children's entertainment is dominated by digital media, Garis's enduring legacy reminds us of the timeless power of storytelling and the joy of a well-spun tale.
