Synopsis "The Tale of Jimmy Rabbit - With Color Illustrations (in English)"
This is a new edition of "The Tale of Jimmy Rabbit," originally published in 1916 by Grosset & Dunlap Publishers, New York. Part of the project Bedtime-Tales Series of classic literature, this is a new edition of the classic work published in 1916-not a facsimile reprint. Obvious typographical errors have been carefully corrected and the entire text has been reset and redesigned by Pen House Editions to enhance readability, while respecting the original edition. Jimmy Rabbit wanted a new tail. To be sure, he already had a tail-but it was so short that he felt it was little better than none at all. Frisky Squirrel and Billy Woodchuck had fine, bushy tails; and so had all the other forest-people, except the Rabbit family. One of the most important things a parent can do for their child's education is to read to them. Arthur Scott Bailey's books will hold the child's interest, expand their intelligence and foster their love of reading. But just a few words would be enough to describe Bailey's beautiful books: Charming, sweetly humorous, simply and well-written children's books. About the Author: Arthur Scott Bailey was born in Vermont on November 15, 1877. He was an American writer, intellectual and author of more than forty children's books, including the famous "Tuck-Me-In Tales," the "Sleepy-Time Tales," and the "Slumber-Town Tales." One of his most admirable qualities was the fact that he never used language that talked down to children; instead, he frequently used words beyond their average vocabulary in an effort to broaden their knowledge. Bailey was a graduate of Harvard. He died on October 17, 1949.
