Twenty-Three Tales (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Twenty-Three Tales<br/><br/>The artist of the future will understand that to compose a fairy-tale, a little song which will touch, a lullaby or a riddle which will entertain, a jest which will amuse, or to draw a sketch such as will de ht dozens of generations or millions of children and adu ts, is incomparably more important and more fruitful than to compose a novel, or a symphony, or aint a pic ture, of the kind which diverts some mem rs of the wealthy classes for a short time and is then for ever forgotten. The region of this art of the simplest feelings accessible to all is enormous, and it is as yet almost untouched.'<br/><br/>About the Publisher<br/><br/>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
