The Boxcar Children by Gertrude Chandler Warner
PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION:Thanks to Mrs. Kroeber's simple, supple style, the stories all succeed as stories; they please, engage, move, or divert without depending for their effect on their exotic source.--The New Yorker
The varying but almost always superb story style of these narratives will speak to all.--New York Herald Tribune
This is a jewel of a book.--San Francisco Chronicle
These stories enlarge life. They remind us of Shakespeare and Aeschylus. That Mrs. Kroeber's book should generate such thoughts is proof of its power and beauty.--New York Times Book Review
American author Gertrude Chandler Warner (1890-1979) wrote several stories for children, and her 1924 book, The Box-Car Children, was so successful that she published 18 sequels. The series' popularity has continued to grow: there are currently 150 other books, written by many authors, as well as two animated films. Warner was also a school teacher who read the original story to her classes and rewrote it many times to make sure that it would be both engaging and easy to read. She noted that the book raised a storm of protest from librarians who thought the children were having too good a time without any parental control! That is exactly why children like it!
