Certainly, no other single book, apart from the Bible, has ever had any greater social impact on the United States, and for many years its enormous historical interest prevented many from seeing the book's genuine, if not always consistent, literary merit. The fame of the novel has also unfortunately overshadowed the fiction that Stowe wrote about her native New England: Here Stowe was writing about the world and its people closest and dearest to her, recording their customs, their legends, and their speech.

Feathertop upon eight nice eggs, where she was sitting in gloomy grandeur. He tried to make a little affable conversation with her, and to relate his interview with the doctor and Goody Kertarkut; but He tried to make a little affable conversation with her, and to relate his interview with the doctor and Goody Kertarkut; but she was morose and sullen, and only pecked at him now and then in a very sharp, unpleasant way.
So after a few more efforts to make himself agreeable he left her, and went out promenading with the captivating Mrs. There are subtle puns and the characters are keenly portrayed. I also found that the attitude and morals are almost surprisingly in line with those of today--although there was more mention of death than you'd find in a contemporary book of children's tales.

I'd totally recommend reading this, and reading it to any and all small children that you can get to sit still long enough to listen. There's no active table of contents or illustrations. Perfect for teaching your young folk, beautiful writing. There is an education here for people who read only contemporary "stories" to children. Fantastic tales by a woman we all need to know and most will come to love.
Harriet Beecher Stowe was far ahead of her time in many ways. In a really fun and delightful way she deals with fair treatment of others. She takes on issues of race, gender and even the way we regard animals and reptiles in a fun and intriguing way. A few of the stories got a little repetitive in their moral lessons but her writing is so clever and compelling that I was able to overlook it.

She has a wonderful style and I love the way she can take on any voice and any perspective. This would be a great book to read to elementary kids but also its a great book for adults interested in reading cleverly written, very short, short stories. I loved the whimsical, light-hearted style of Stowe in these stories for children. Each one has a moral, but charmingly presented.
Good classic, lots of stories that all have meanings to relate to us. Liked how it was separated into stories! Delightful and captivating short stories, beautifully written. Quaint in style, it is easily read and very enjoyable.
