Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Land Breezes The present volume and its predecessor, "Lake Breezes," were written at about the same time; their sources of inspiration and their treatment are much the same; they may, therefor, be considered companion volumes. In "Sammy´s Stories" the speaker is the same venturesome, loquacious, little chap that appears in "Lake Breezes." He is a little white boy, who is just beginning to know the streets and fields. He speaks the language of his kind, neither knowing nor caring for good pronunciation or grammar. Indeed, he is quite unrestrained, and to invent some monstrosity of language is considered a feat worthy of attainment, while his irrepressible thoughts are constantly bubbling forth in this rather picturesque style. In the "Double Red Cross Poems" in "Lake Breezes" there were drawn some faint and imperfect sketches of the ravages of alcohol, one of the great secondary causes of consumption; in the present volume other rough sketches are drawn of as great devastation wrought by corsets, another of the great secondary causes of this general scourge.
