Hill of Boston that is not present in this copy. These morality stories for children by the French author and poet Arnaud Berquin 1747-1791 originally appeared in monthly installments in a magazine called L' Ami Des Enfans. The tales were so popular they were collected and published together in French and English. Berquin's work is notable for its realism and lack of fantasy - no castles or supernatural powers are found within these pages. He wrote with the "conviction that children should be addressed directly in language they could readily understand."
