From the Introduction
"The purpose of The Junior Classics is to provide a classified collection of tales, stories, and poems, both
ancient and modern, suitable for boys and girls of from six to sixteen years of age. Thoughtful parents
and teachers, who realize the evils of indiscriminate reading on the part of children, will appreciate
the educational value of such a collection. A child's taste in reading is formed, as a rule, in the first ten
or twelve years of its life, and experience has shown that the childish mind will prefer good literature
to any other, if access to it is made easy, and will develop far better on literature of proved merit than
on trivial or transitory material."
