EXCERPT: Chapter I - It was William Barnes, the Dorsetshire poet, who said all Mothers should keep a book wherein to write the sayings of their children. "Because," said he, "the language of a child is interesting to the philologist. When a child speaks of honey as bee-jam it reveals the creation of language." Every child has no doubt expressed itself excellently well in its turn, and many are the precious sayings that must have been lost, in the hearing of illiterate or careless companions. Some, however have been held fast, and these survive to freshen thought and language. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
