The Summer Story Book: Stories, Poems, and Legends of Summer, Sunshine, and Nature

From long summer days of adventure to hazy afternoons in sunlit fields, The Summer Story Book gathers a wide-ranging collection of stories, poems, and legends that reflect the joy and freedom of the season.

'The young reader enriches his experience by learning to interpret "the open pages of the world about him."'

Bringing together nature stories, seasonal poetry, and long-told legends from many cultures, this treasury captures the essence of summer. Featuring selections from celebrated authors such as William Shakespeare, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and John Keats.

This seasonal anthology is part of a matching collection alongside The Spring Story Book, The Autumn Story Book, and The Winter Story Book. Gathered from many hands and many countries, the stories, poems, and legends in each volume are arranged to carry the reader through the season from its first signs to its close. Curated by Ada M. Skinner and Eleanor L. Skinner in 1917, The Summer Story Book is presented here by Read & Co. Classics as one of a treasured set of four.
