Junior Classics is an anthology of stories selected and arranged for young readers, bringing together traditional tales and animal stories in one volume.

The collection ranges across several settings and traditions: the North, the Rhine, Greece and Rome, and the Hudson River. Its variety offers listeners a chance to move from myth and legend to stories rooted in the natural world.

Published in 1918, the book reflects an early twentieth-century approach to introducing young people to a broad range of storytelling. It is suited to listeners looking for a sampler of classic tales rather than a single continuous narrative.
