Book Description
THE author of this work makes no pretense of originality in the telling of these stories of olden times. They have been gleaned from many sources, and are the common heritage of all who love to write them anew and hear them again. Only the words belong to the story teller; the story itself is as old as the race. In the lapse of years and with the much telling of these stories there is no longer a line between fact and fiction. How much is true and how much is false does not matter; the story itself is the thing, and one need not worry whether it really happened or not. Much of it is palpable fiction, but much of it is true. Let us not be too critical of a story when it is a few hundred years old. At any rate, the stories herein contained are a part of the great inheritance that the boys and girls of this day have received from the past, and to which they are entitled in all fullness and freedom. If the reading of them shall add anything to the enjoyment or to the information of those who are always young in heart because they always thrill at romance and adventure, the writer of these old time tales will be amply repaid.

Book Description
Excerpt from Evenings at Haddon Hall: A Series of Romantic Tales of the Olden Time In the most singular and romantic, and withal the most beautiful, of the divisions of our all-beautiful England - the district of the Peak - is situated one of the noblest of those architectural relics of the times of Chivalry and Romance, which any country, even England itself, can boast - a relic that is preserved by its owners with as pious care, and made the object of as many pilgrimages of admiring interest, as the shrines of saints are wont to be, in countries where saints were needed to supply the place of those social virtues of which the "merry England" of the olden time was the chosen home. At the period when Haddon Hall was the proud seat of the Vernons, the old English hospitality of our barons and feudal chiefs rendered superfluous that less gracious and grateful dispensation which had previously borne the name of Charity - a name that the wiser benevolence of the times we speak of had, in England at least, banished from the vocabulary used to interpret between man and man.
