FOREWORD
Most boys gather in the woods pretty and odd bits of moss, fungus, and other treasures that have no price. They bring them home and store them in that universal receptacle, the Tackle-box. Some boys, like myself, never outgrow the habit. Oneday a friend observed that my Tackle-box was full and suggested that a selection be given to the public.
Most of this booty I gathered in the woods myself, but an Indian gave me fragments of “The Recipe” and “Gitch-e O-kok-o-hoo”, and a Chinaman told me where to find “The Frog in the Well”.
