E-text prepared by D Alexander, Juliet Sutherland, Mary Meehan, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "In Story-land" by Elizabeth Harrison is a collection of children's tales written in the late 19th century. The stories within this compilation are designed to entertain and educate young readers, featuring themes of kindness, bravery, and the importance of helping others. The narratives prominently feature characters such as the little maiden named Beta and her encounters with a wise giant, as well as stories of other imaginative beings, all focusing on moral lessons suitable for children's development. At the start of the collection, the tale of "Little Beta and the Lame Giant" introduces us to the titular characters. Little Beta, a kind-hearted girl, lives in a village near a mountain inhabited by a giant who, despite his extraordinary abilities, is hindered by his lameness and isolation. Through her love and acts of kindness, Beta discovers the giant and learns from him, while he shares his knowledge and gifts in return. The opening sets the tone for heartwarming adventures, touching on how love and connection can bridge gaps between individuals from vastly different worlds, while also highlighting the idea that true value comes from generosity and compassion.
