    About this ebook

    You will enjoy this collection of tales for young children. Sweets for Leisure Hours includes a variety of fantastic and whimsical stories readers of all ages will find heartwarming. Excerpt: "See, see, what a sweet little prize I have found! A Robin that lay half-benumbed on the ground: Well housed and well fed, in your cage you will sing, And make our dull winter as gay as the spring. But stay, - sure 'tis cruel, with wings made to soar, To be shut up in prison, and never fly more."
