Excerpt from Scotland's Story: A History of Scotland for Boys and Girls IT is very nice, ' said Caledonia, as she closed her book with a sigh; but why did you not tell us stories of Scotland?' Because there was no need. That has been done already by a great and clever man.' Oh, but children sometimes like the stories which are written by the not great and clever people best, ' said Caledonia wisely. Littler children do, anyhow. They are more simpler, you know.'
