This book, written in the mid 19th century and illustrated by Charles H. Bennett, provides an entertaining introduction to topics in science for children. In each chapter, the author uses a popular myth or fairy tale to lay the groundwork for an equally fascinating “fairy tale of science” full of interesting facts and real life examples. (Summary by J. M. Smallheer)
