Golden treasury of famous books
Golden Treasury of Famous Books, published in Toronto in 1929, is a guide to good reading for boys and girls by Marjory Willison, a Canadian journalist and writer. It introduces young readers to the books she thought every child should know, beginning with Dickens, Scott, Shakespeare and the Bible, then moving through romance and adventure, from Dumas, Hugo and Stevenson to Robinson Crusoe, Lorna Doone, Twain and Kipling, and on to Homer, Aesop, Grimm, Andersen, the Arabian Nights and Malory. Later parts deal with history, biography, diaries and poetry, and the book ends with advice on reading the literature of one's own country.
