Excerpt from Agathos; The Rocky Island: And Other Sunday Stories Such has been, to a remarkable degree, the effect of the first telling of these stories in the Author's family, and such he cannot help hoping may be more widely their effect when they are given to the public. The questions at the close of each are designed as tracks, not as grooves, and they may easily be multiplied or reduced in number, according to the judgment of the parent, or the age and intelligence of the child. Some of them are the very answers he received from his children. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Once upon a time there were two favorite books for Sunday reading: Parables From Nature and Agathos and The Rocky Island. These books contained all sorts of short stories, usually with a hidden meaning. In this illustrated book there is a selection of the very best of these stories, carefully retold to preserve the feel of the originals, coupled with ease of reading and understanding for today's readers. Discover the king who sent his servants to trade in a foreign city; the butterfly who thought her eggs would hatch into baby butterflies; and the two boys who decided to explore the forbidden land beyond the castle boundary. The spider that kept being blown in the wind; the soldier who had to fight a dragon; the four children who had to find their way through a dark and dangerous forest. These are just six of the nine stories in this collection. Oh, and there's also one about a rocky island! This is a book for a young person to read alone; a family or parent to read aloud; Sunday school teachers to read to the class; and even for grownups who want to dip into the fascinating stories of the past all by themselves. Can you discover the hidden meanings? You don't have to wait until Sunday before starting!
