Riassunto:
A collection of highly imaginative modern fairy tales which inspire children to right behavior. Includes two Christmas stories-"Why the Chimes Rang" and "In the Great Walled Country"-and a variety of other stories suitable for the different seasons of the year. Best known from the collection are the title story, "Why the Chimes Rang," and the highly-acclaimed "The Knights of the Silver Shield," both of which have been published in separate editions and included in numerous anthologies.
L'autore: Raymond Macdonald Alden (1873 – 1924) was an American scholar and educator, born in New Hartford, N. Y. He studied at Rollins College, Fla., and at the University of Pennsylvania, from which he graduated in 1894. He took post-graduate studies there at Penn and at Harvard. In 1894-95 he was instructor in English at Columbian (now George Washington) University; in 1896-97 assistant in English at Harvard; and in 1898-99 senior fellow in English at the University of Pennsylvania. He was chosen to fill the position of assistant professor of English literature and rhetoric at Leland Stanford, Jr., University in 1899, then became associate professor there in 1909. He accepted the chair of English at the University of Illinois in 1911. He edited several plays of Shakespeare and other Elizabethan dramatists and in 1910 an edition of Thoreau's Walden. Alden also became known as a contributor to educational journals and short stories to magazines. In 1913 he edited an edition of Shakespeare's Sonnets and A Lover's Complaint.
