OW quickly the years pass! But yesterday they were babies; now he is a great boy, clamoring for trousers with vast, mysterious pockets; and she, dear little girl, is a mother, caressing her dolls with an infinity Of maternal graces. Could they but stay young! Were there but a fountain, like the one in these stories, to keep them forever safe in a mother's arms. It is sad to think Of their ever leaving Baby land. There is no country like unto this beautiful bourn Of our children. Here are the dim, magic forests, the enchanted castles, the deep, hidden caves, the secret tree  hollows, where dwell sparrows and fairies and lost little children. In this land the princess is ever young and ever beautiful; the bold Prince Charming slays always the wicked, watchful dragon; the fierce Ogre, with his one malevolent eye forever eats the tender children at his ravenous evening meal. The land is always full, yet always filling; the sun is forever shining, and ?owers spring up under the patter Of little feet. Here bad is bad, and good is good, and always the good comes true. For is there not a fairy godmother to save the Child from all the childish evil in the world? What a land Of adventure it is! What daring deeds! What heroic exploits! The little white crib, into which we tuck him so tenderly  why, that is no crib at all! It is a great ship, with ?apping sails unfurled, creaking under stress Of storm and sea, sailing oceans unknown to lands Of which we have never heard. It is also a locomotive, a dizzy air  ship, an automobile, and, inturn, a fort, a palace, a forest and a wicked robber's cave. Resolutely the little captain, aeronaut, king, robber and police man marches through all this brave realm Of limitless adventure. Only too soon the child must leave this warm, fair land, and, losing his baby's heritage, enter upon the schoolboy's_ estate. The wicked giants, the fairy princesses, the wonderful, magic animals who talk and think, vanish forever before the spelling book and arithmetic. A little learning is a dangerous thing.

OW quickly the years pass! But yesterday they were babies; now he is a great boy, clamoring for trousers with vast, mysterious pockets; and she, dear little girl, is a mother, caressing her dolls with an infinity Of maternal graces.
Could they but stay young! Were there but a fountain, like the one in these stories, to keep them forever safe in a mother's arms. It is sad to think Of their ever leaving Baby land.
There is no country like unto this beautiful bourn Of our children. Here are the dim, magic forests, the enchanted castles, the deep, hidden caves, the secret tree - hollows, where dwell sparrows and fairies and lost little children. In this land the princess is ever young and ever beautiful; the bold Prince Charming slays always the wicked, watchful dragon; the fierce Ogre, with his one malevolent eye forever eats the tender children at his ravenous evening meal. The land is always full, yet always filling; the sun is forever shining, and flowers spring up under the patter Of little feet. Here bad is bad, and good is good, and always the good comes true. For is there not a fairy godmother to save the Child from all the childish evil in the world?
What a land Of adventure it is! What daring deeds! What heroic exploits! The little white crib, into which we tuck him so tenderly - why, that is no crib at all! It is a great ship, with flapping sails unfurled, creaking under stress Of storm and sea, sailing oceans unknown to lands Of which we have never heard. It is also a locomotive, a dizzy air - ship, an automobile, and, inturn, a fort, a palace, a forest and a wicked robber's cave. Resolutely the little captain, aeronaut, king, robber and police man marches through all this brave realm Of limitless adventure.
Only too soon the child must leave this warm, fair land, and, losing his baby's heritage, enter upon the schoolboy's_ estate. The wicked giants, the fairy princesses, the wonderful, magic animals who talk and think, vanish forever before the spelling book and arithmetic. A little learning is a dangerous thing.

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a ThriftBooks-Atlanta, Dallas, Texas, U.S.A., sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.
