Book Description

Excerpt from Woodbine-Arbor, or the Little Gardeners: A Story of a Happy Childhood Let me tell you, my dear young reader, about a happy little family of three brothers and three sisters, who lived in a pleasant home, not far from the great city of new-york. Their father, Mr. Howard, was a wealthy merchant, and had his store in the city, to which he usually rode early in the morning, directly after break fast, and returned home in season to take tea with his family. He had six children, the little folks whom I am now going to tell you about. The girls were named, Maria, Elizabeth, and Harriet. The boys were Henry, Charles, and John. Henry was the oldest, then Charles, Maria, John, Elizabeth, and Harriet. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
