Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

There are some touches in the stories, of course, which belong rather to Denmark than England - for example, the custom of ringing the church bells at sunset, the complete disappearance of starlings in the winter months, the starlings' box which is ready for them to rest in on their return, the pres ence of the stork. The phenomenon of beech forests extruding and supplanting oak forests (re ferred to by Dr. Wallace in Darwinism as one of the most striking instances of natural selection is one of which there are clearer traces in Scandinavian countries than in Great Britain. But, on the whole, Nature is the same in Englandas in Denmark, and the English child who learns natural history from these stories will not be mis directed. Meanwhile, I hope that these stories of Carl Ewald will be loved for their own sake as stories merely. They have so much poetical imagination, ingenuity of incident, and bright wit, that they seem entitled to some share in the popularity ac corded to the children's tales of another Danish writer, Hans Christian Andersen. Some English children have already listened to them eagerly, and many others, I hope, will take them into their favour when they are sent out into the world. They may even be read with pleasure by some who are children no longer. If this is not so, the fault must lie with the translator.

The book "" The Four Seasons "" has been considered important throughout the human history, and so that this work is never forgotten we have made efforts in its preservation by republishing this book in a modern format for present and future generations. This whole book has been reformatted, retyped and designed. These books are not made of scanned copies and hence the text is clear and readable.

The Unfortunate Carp and Other Watery TalesThis collection of 14 short stories provides children with a close-up look at the activities of plants and animals that reside in a seemingly peaceful lake. Through the eyes of a nesting reed-warbler couple residing at the edge of a large lake, the birds have the opportunity to chat with the many different residents of the lake that go about their business above and below the water. Would you believe how many and varied are these plants and animals? There are several species of fish, an eel, hard-shelled species like clams and crayfish, several insects. A bladderwort... a new plant name for you, possibly?... ducks and gulls, along with spreading waterlilies and lake buttercups. Yes, there are also humans that don't mind upsetting the usual give and take of a lake habitat. They each have their own special niches, with quite varying lifestyles, and the interactions between them vary from peaceful and mutually beneficial, to being sworn enemies. Children will learn about the many ways that plants and animals coexist, and they will discover for themselves the differences that make lake life so fascinating. Is a lake a "peaceful" place? Yes and No

Book OneAre your children lovers of nature...like yourself? Over 100 years ago, the Danish author, Carl Ewald, wrote these classic children's stories that are now available in new English translations. These stories will both entertain and lead your child into an accurate, modern perspective on how the sometimes-hidden World of Nature really works. A near contemporary and admirer of Charles Darwin, Ewald's early training as a field biologist and forester gave him huge insights into nature and spurred an interest that lasted throughout his life. His innovative approach created biology lessons in fable-story form for kids. Darwin himself would have approved. Teachers, homeschoolers, parents: Are you looking for exceptional content in your Middle-Grade children's reading choices? Read the first story now as an example. (available under Look Inside) and guide them into constructive, substantive readings covering such topics as: natural selection, adaptation, mate choice, competition, predation, bee colony life, the squeezing of wildlife habitat, forest preservation, earthworms as nature's soil tillers, and island formation from coral development through immense time. This first book of ten richly-colored illustrated stories is a sampling of not just the sweep of Ewald's interest in revealing a real-world nature, but also the high literary quality of his stories. His major concern was to steer children (and their mentors) into learning the truth of nature's amazing complexity, while suceeding to make it simple enough for a child to understand. There are many other stories and major topics that you will find in Books Two and Three of this series. Have a look.https: //www.classicnaturestoriesforkids.com/
