HOLBROOK'S DRAMATIC READER.
These little plays—well-known stories done into dialogue—were writtenfor children who like to imagine themselves living with their favoritecharacters in forest, in palace, or in fairyland.
It is hoped that you will enjoy these old friends in their new dressalmost as well as you loved them in the old. When you read the words ofbird or tree or prince or child, try to speak with the voice and mannerwhich you think that character would use. Thus you will make the readinga joy to yourselves and a great satisfaction to your hearers.
To try to put oneself in the place of another is very good training forthe imagination. It also teaches us to be more[4]kind to others and toall living creatures. We learn that most persons are striving to dobetter and to be better, and we grow in understanding and sympathy.
May these little plays help you to the enjoyment of the great dramaswhich you will read when you are older.
