Third Reader: The Alexandra Readers

Third Reader: The Alexandra Readers is a collection of poems and famous fables knit together by writer John Dearness. Excerpt:

"Sweet wind, fair wind, where have you been?

"I've been sweeping the cobwebs out of the sky;

I've been grinding a grist in the mill hard by;

I've been laughing at work while others sigh;

Let those laugh who win!"
