About this audiobook
Excerpt: "Stories and legends of spring, nature and Easter. There is no richer theme for children's stories than the miracle of Spring. The selections in "The Emerald Story Book" aim to serve the young reader's interest in three ways. Some of the myths and legends are interesting or amusing because flowers, insects, or birds are presented as personalities and emphasise human qualities or feelings. Some of the stories and poems contribute to the child's store of knowledge by attracting his attention to some fact, beauty, or blessing in nature which may have escaped his notice. Still others make an appeal by suggesting or affirming the abiding hope symbolised in the thought, "See the land her Easter keeping." The child's heart is filled with the joy of spring,—with the rapture expressed in the thrush's song which Mrs. Ewing describes. "Fresh water and green woods, ambrosial sunshine and sun-flecked shade, chattering brooks[vi] and rustling leaves, glade and sward and dell. Lichens and cool mosses, feathered ferns and flowers. Green leaves! Green leaves! Joy! Joy!""
