| Summary | "Child Stories from the Masters" by Maud Menefee is a collection of children's stories inspired by famous literary works written during the late 19th century. The book serves as a gentle introduction to classic literature, presenting key themes and characters in a child-friendly manner. Menefee aims to make the essence of renowned poems and tales accessible to young readers through these simple retellings. The collection includes interpretations of various works, such as "Pippa Passes" by Robert Browning, "Wilhelm Meister" by Goethe, and "Parsifal" by Richard Wagner, among others. Each story captures the essence of its source material, often focusing on joyful themes of innocence, service, and the pursuit of beauty. For example, the story of Pippa reflects her joy and the impact her song has on those around her, while Mignon's tale explores the search for happiness and belonging. The book concludes with stories emphasizing love, joy, and hope, inviting children to engage with these themes while being introduced to the broader world of literature and art.
