| Our Little Kings and Queens at Home and at School by Lida Brooks Miller, 1891 | |||||||
| 'Our
Little Kings and Queens at Home and at School' by Lida
Brooks Miller was published by Louis Benham and Co in
Chicago and Philadelphia in 1891. Inter alia it contains
a section entitled 'The Kindergarten' which introduces
the twenty kindergarten gifts and occupations. The
contents of this section are essentially the same as
those of a similar section in 'Royal Gifts for the
Kindergarten' by Frances Post Van Norstrand and Alice H
Putnam, which had been published by the Standard
Publishing Company in Chicago in 1889 (see above) except
that the present volume contains several illustrations
which were not in 'Royal Gifts'. The extra illustrations
are not referred to in the text. All the illustrations
are, as the publishers acknowledge in their Preface,
taken from Edward Wiebe's 'Paradise of Childhood'. Since there is nothing new in the work it is not necessary to reproduce or analyse it here. A full copy of the work can be accessed here. *********** |
