Stories from the History of Rome

Stories from the History of Rome by Mrs. Beesly is a brilliant, whimsical collection of fairy tales that all readers will enjoy. Excerpt: “THE writer of this little book was not satisfied that her children should hear nothing but fairy tales and the stories of nursery life, now so popular. But she could find nothing else fit to read to them. There are, indeed, plenty of storybooks drawing their materials from history, and professing to be intended for children.”
