Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories and Sketches for the Young HE would be an inattentive reader of Mrs. Stowe's writings who did not see how irresistibly she would be drawn not only to the portraiture of children but to stories for their pleasure. She was distinctly a domestic woman and she was, moreover, so acutely sensible of the world of nature, loving its owers, trees, and all animate and inani mate objects, that her active mind and intelligent sympathy could scarcely fail to seize upon this material when she came to write for the instruction or the diversion of that part Of humanity which lives nearest the earth.
