Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Little Sunbeam's Picture-Book: Tales and Sketches In the first place, I have to say that many of the stories are not quite so nice as they might have been and this is the reason for their being so: in order that such of you young folk as are not very quick at reading may be able to make out all the words in this book, I have written the whole work in very short words. In fact, there is but one of more than two syllables in all the pages that follow, and only those words which have the simplest meaning have been used by me. The adoption of this plan has, of course, very much increased my labours and my difficulties. Nor is this all in order that children who are as yet unable to read may take some pleasure in the book, I have put into it a great many pictures, and that has obliged me to make my tales very short.
