Summary "The Children's Hour, Volume 3 (of 10)" by Eva March Tappan is a collection of classic stories intended for children, compiled and arranged in the early 20th century, specifically in the late 1900s. This volume features retellings of timeless tales from notable works such as the poems of Homer and Virgil, along with historical narratives, folk stories, and mythological adventures. The stories are selected to captivate young readers, encouraging their imagination while drawing from significant literary traditions. The opening of the volume introduces readers to the significance of the "Children's Hour," a time when children can immerse themselves in storytelling. It outlines the book's content, delving into the origins of various stories, including those of famous characters such as Ulysses from the "Odyssey," and historical figures like Romulus, the founder of Rome. The text emphasizes the vividness and realism in these tales, highlighting how they continue to resonate with children today through their engaging narratives. The first story, "Ladronius, the Prince of Thieves," sets a precedent for this theme of adventure interwoven with moral lessons, showcasing the struggles and cleverness of its characters right from the very beginning.
