Sinossi

In "The Boy Scouts' Mountain Camp," John Henry Goldfrap crafts an engaging narrative that serves as both a thrilling adventure and a foundational text in the landscape of early 20th-century boys' literature. Drawing upon the popular themes of outdoor exploration, camaraderie, and self-reliance, Goldfrap invites readers into the wilderness where young scouts encounter challenges that test their skills and character. The book exemplifies a straightforward yet vivid prose style, reflecting the educational ideals of the Boy Scouts movement while positioning itself within the broader context of American literature that celebrates nature and boyhood rites of passage. John Henry Goldfrap, an author known for his enthusiasm for youth literature, was deeply influenced by the burgeoning American scouting movement of the early 1900s. His experiences as a mentor and observer of young boys in outdoor settings fueled his desire to depict their adventures vividly, ensuring that his characters resonate with authenticity and valuable life lessons. Goldfrap's works often reflect his commitment to promoting ethics and values through engaging storytelling. Readers seeking a nostalgic yet instructive tale that embodies the spirit of adventure and growth will find "The Boy Scouts' Mountain Camp" to be a rewarding choice. This book not only entertains but also inspires young readers to appreciate the outdoors and develop skills that foster independence, making it a timeless addition to any young explorer's library.

    The Black Sheep is a very young sheep so he is curious about why the farmer cuts their wool off every year. "The man and his wife spin our wool into clothes to keep them warm" was the reply of a wise old ram. The little black sheep then meets the boy who lives down the lane and hears that his mother has no money to buy him a coat and he is cold in the winter so the kind little sheep asks the farmer that if he will grow enough wool for 3 bags instead of the normal two, could he have one. The farmer agrees and so this is what happens. A wonderful story all around.

    Sing a song o' sixpence, a handful of rye, 
    Four-and-twenty blackbirds baked in a pie; 
    When the pie was opened the birds began to sing, 
    Wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the King? 
    So, what does this strange old nursery song mean? Or is it just nonsense?  If you have never heard the legend of Gilligren and the King's pie you will scarcely understand the above verse; so let Frank Baum, the man who wrote the Wizard of OZ, tell you the whole story, and then you will be able to better appreciate the rhyme. 
    Gilligren was an orphan, and lived with an uncle and aunt who were very unkind to him. They cuffed him and scolded him upon the slightest provocation, and made his life very miserable indeed. Gilligren never rebelled against this treatment, but bore their cruelty silently and with patience, although often he longed to leave them and seek a home amongst kinder people.
