William F. Buckley Jr. has personally selected — from our private St. Nicholas collection — dozens of these literary giants' most entertaining and wholesome works to comprise The National Review Treasury of Classic Children's Literature. (That's right: all these phenomenal writers listed above have at least one — and in most cases two or three — outstanding tales included in this special book!)
This veritable celebration of tales finely told and lessons charmingly taught is a must — for your children or grandchildren, for that beloved niece, nephew, or godchild, for that nice neighborhood kid, or for the local school library. From knights and pirates to fairies and princesses, from cowboys and Indians to giants and dwarfs, from beggars and angels to dogs and cats (and every other animal you can think of!), from brave young girls defending their country to intrepid young boys risking their lives to rescue others, whether it be tales of daring and action or silliness and sadness . . . or even saintliness, The National Review Treasury of Classic Children's Literature offers a wide array of stories that will interest and entertain any and all children — and adults too. Between its covers, many pleasant surprises await.
But don't take our word for it — take the word of Ann Applegarth, book reviewer for Catholic Parent magazine. She wrote that The National Review Treasury of Classic Children's Literature "can make summer 2003 a reading landmark at your house." It's "excellent, wholesome, and certain to broaden the horizons (mental and spiritual) of children and adults who love them." And there's more: This "beautiful book of wonderful children's stories by great writers that will delight, entertain and nourish your youngsters and teenagers. Described by the publishers as 'a happy voyage back to the golden era of children's literature,' it is precisely that." And one final glowing comment: the book is "lavishly illustrated." Whew!Introduce a deserving young person to some of the best children's literature ever written. Remember, once upon a time, how a good book broadened your horizons and fired your imagination — how it influenced your life. Now do the same for someone else by giving The National Review Treasury of Classic Children's Literature.
