"In ultimate importance it outranks the arithmetic, the grammar, the geography, the manuals of science; for without the aid of the imagination none of these books is really comprehensible . . . No one can understand the modern world without the aid of the imagination, and as the frontiers of knowledge are pushed still further away from the obvious and familiar, there will be an increasing tax on the imagination." A great read, full of stories that every child should know. Scroll Up and Get Your Copy! Classic Books Available at Amazon's CreateSpace: goo.gl/0oisZU
