"Children's Stories in American Literature, 1660-1860" by Henrietta Christian Wright is a collection of literary analyses and interpretations written in the early 20th century. This informative volume delves into the foundation of children's literature in America, specifically focusing on works created between 1660 and 1860. The likely topic of the collection is the exploration of various authors and narratives that contributed to the tapestry of American children's literature, encompassing both historical context and thematic relevance. The opening of the book sets the stage for an examination of early American literature, beginning with a fascinating account of missionary John Eliot reading Bible stories in the Mohegan tongue to Indigenous children in the 1660s. This moment underscores the significance of language and cultural exchange as Eliot endeavors to educate and inspire the local tribes.
