Purpose of this Blog...

You may have noticed that not all books are equal in capturing children's imaginations and in cultivating those innocent, tender souls. My goal is to help you find the ones that do!

Pleasure Reading

"A YOUNG GIRL READING" (1890), by Charlotte J. Weeks

No entertainment is so cheap as reading, nor any pleasure so lasting. She will not want new fashions nor regret the loss of expensive diversions or variety of company if she can be amused with an author in her closet. 
— Lady Montagu, providing advice on raising her granddaughter, 1752
