Firefly Jar: A Collection of Short Stories about Childhood

By Montessori School of Raleigh 8th Years 2013-14

"Although my book is intended mainly for the entertainment of boys and girls, I hope it will not be shunned by men and women on that account, for part of my plan has been to try to pleasantly remind adults of what they once were themselves, and of how they felt and thought and talked, and what queer enterprises they sometimes engaged in." -Mark Twain, The Adventures of Tom SawyerSamuel Langhorne Clemens, more commonly known by his pseudonym Mark Twain, published The Adventures of Tom Sawyer in 1876 in part, as he writes above, to capture the essence of childhood. In this project, the 8th Year students at The Montessori School of Raleigh examined Twain's masterful techniques and used them to craft an anthology of vivid, engaging childhood stories to share. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have.
