The Junior Classics Volume 9: Stories of To-day
by William Patten

Name: The Junior Classics Volume 9: Stories of To-day
Author: William Patten

The first part of this volume consists of stories by modern writers dealing mainly with life in our own day. They are, of course, meant for the older children, and both the style and the situations call for more maturity on the part of the reader. The lure of the extraordinary is now dispensed with, and instead these tales supply the interest that comes from recognizable truth to experience.
