Full of delightful fairy tales, charming poems, and engaging stories, the My Bookhouse series for children was published in the 1920s by Olive Beaupr??? Miller as a six-volume set. The books contained the best in children's literature and progressed through a natural, carefully graded order, from the simplest poems and stories to those that are more complex. Miller set high standards for the books: "First, -To be well equipped for life, to have ideas and the ability to express them, the child needs a broad background of familiarity with the best in literature. "Second, -Stories and rhymes must be selected with care that the child may absorb no distorted view of life and its actual values, but may grow up to be mentally clear about values and emotionally impelled to seek what is truly desirable and worthwhile in human living. "Third, -The stories and rhymes selected must be graded to the child's understanding at different periods of growth, graded as to vocabulary, as to subject matter and as to complexity of structure and plot." The series would eventually include twelve volumes. The original volumes included: Volume 1, In the Nursery (1920) Volume 2, Up One Pair of Stairs (1920) Volume 3, Through Fairy Halls (1920) Volume 4, The Treasure Chest (1920) Volume 5, From The Tower Window (1921) Volume 6, The Latch Key (1921) The series is an ideal teaching aid for parents who want to help their children read well, think clearly, and absorb the most important lessons that literature has to teach. This volume, a facsimile of the 1920 edition of In the Nursery, features the traditional nursery rhymes and stories that small children love to hear and learn. It also features the color illustrations included in the original edition of the book. It is printed on acid-free, archival-quality paper for durability and long use.
