A storybook set in the magical “Land of Grammar” to illustrate elementary basics of grammar. Two children follow a tiny fairy man named Desire to meet with Miss Noun, Sir Pronoun, Master Verb, etc. The story was written circa 1942 (first copyright). In the first chapter there is a reference to cannibals with an accompanying cartoon-like illustration (pg.3) of 2 dark skinned, curly haired people wearing grass skirts and carrying a spear next to the children. The children are also circled by hobgoblins. In the entire 104 page book that is the ONLY reference and illustration that could be considered offensive by today’s standards. Unless you consider the child calling herself a “dunce” to her teacher, which is immediately refuted by that teacher. But hey, 1942 guys! I found the story a little heavy going when reading aloud to my kids, however it is meant to be an instructional story to teach parts of speech and other facts of basic English grammar.… (mais)
