Excerpt from The Young and Field Literary Readers, Vol. 5

There was never a boy or girl 'who did not love a hero. Every brave and unselfish deed that is done in the world makes us stand a little straighter and lift our chests a little higher and want to do something brave and unselfish ourselves.

This book which you are to read is a book of heroes. In it are heroes of all times and all countries. There is Perseus the Greek, who slew the monster that was threatening the earth; there is Daniel the Hebrew, who was thrown into a den of lions and had no fear, because he knew that God was with him; there is Regulus the Roman, who chose to die rather than to break his word; there are Beowulf and Siegfried, the dragon killers; and Arthur, the brave knight of old; and many another hero of the ancient days.
