Dear Boys and Girls,
You do not know me , so I am introducing myself by this friendly letter. How I do wish I could really meet you: I am sure we would be the best of friends. O how many things we would have to talk about! I would want to hear of your best friends , and I would tell you all about mine. Among the very best of friends I always count a great number of good books, so I should introduce you to these good friends, because you would be better and happier for knowing them. The editors of these volumes heard about my many book friends , so they thought that I would be a good person to tell you about these fine books.
