{"product_id":"mother-stories-maud-lindsay-9781934610336","title":"Mother Stories","description":"I have endeavored to write, for mothers and dear little children, a few simple stories, embodying some of the truths of Froebel's Mother Play. The Mother Play is such a vast treasure house of Truth, that each one who seeks among its stores may bring to light some gem; and though, perhaps, I have missed its diamonds and rubies, I trust my string of pearls may find acceptance with some mother who is trying to live with her children. I have written my own mottoes, with a few exceptions, that I might emphasize the particular lesson which I endeavor to teach in the story; for every motto in the Mother Play comprehends so much that it is impossible to use the whole for a single subject. From \"The Bridge\" for instance, which is replete with lessons, I have taken only one, -for the story of the \"Little Traveler.\" Most of these stories have been told and retold to little children, and are surrounded, in my eyes, by a halo of listening faces. \"Mrs. Tabby Gray\" is founded on a true story of a favorite cat. \"The Journey\" is a new version of the old Stage Coach game, much loved by our grandmothers; and I am indebted to some old story, read in childhood, for the suggestion of \"Dust Under the Rug,\" which was a successful experiment in a kindergarten to test the possibility of interesting little children in a story after the order of Grimm, with the wicked stepmother and her violent daughter eradicated. Elizabeth Peabody says we are all free to look out of each other's windows; and so I place mine at the service of all who care to see what its tiny panes command.
