Fifty Famous People by James Baldwin (English) Paperback Book

Description: Fifty Famous People by James Baldwin Classics for Your Collection: goo.gl/U80LCr --------- A very short book about famous (and not famous)people and experiences they had. This book was written for children, but adults too would like it. PREFATORY NOTE One of the best things to be said of the stories in this volume is that, although they are not biographical, they are about real persons who actually lived and performed their parts in the great drama of the worlds history. Some of these persons were more famous than others, yet all have left enduring "footprints on the sands of time" and their names will not cease to be remembered. In each of the stories there is a basis of truth and an ethical lesson which cannot fail to have a wholesome influence; and each possesses elements of interest which, it is believed, will go far towards proving the fallibility of the doctrine that children find delight only in tales of the imaginative and unreal. The fact that there are a few more than fifty famous people mentioned in the volume may be credited to the authors wish to give good measure. Scroll Up and Get Your Copy!
