Hi Cindy,
if you can get it and if I can get it requested it, but... I can get the
copy of this book, i is the one that has the Lame Prince with it. But we
can put it in the collection. We shall see if Erie can find it.

The people who burned witches at the stake never for one moment thought of
their act as violence;
rather they thought of it as an act of divinely mandated righteousness.
The same can be said of most of the violence we humans have ever
committed. -Gil Bailie, author and lecturer (b. 1944)

Speaking of books like like the ones Ilene menations, I'd love to see, and
would be happy to proofread, The Adventures of a Brownie by Dinah Mulock
Craik. She also wrote The Little Lame Prince, among other things. That
book is in our collection, though I don't know how good it is because it
was added in 2002, and it is in PG, but The Adventures of a Brownie is
not.
My library has copies of the two books in one volume and Adventures of a
Brownie by itself; most of the copies are in reference, but there are some
I can get so I can proofread and reread it. It was one of my favorite
books as a child. I wonder if it's where the authors of the Littles got
their idea. Of course if anyone else wants to proofread it, that's fine.
I'd just like to see it in the collection because I think children would
enjoy it. The English family and the brownie who lives in their house or
garden, gets into mischief, but all works out well, if I remember
correctly.

Regarding Mickey's comment that books' being old
doesn't make them bad: Not onlydo I agree, but I make
it my business to find old books to scan and submit. I like
to share books that I read when I was a child or books that
were made into classic movies. Not everyone will remember
the same favorites, and it's fun to make them accessible
to Bookshare users. It's great to have the newest
bestsellers, but we know that the in-house Bookshare people
process a lot of those, and many volunteers also decide to
obtain them. And old books often have lovely margins too.
So let's hear it for old books as well as new. A good
book never loses its charm.
Regards,
Ilene
