The Forward states that the author was trying to find stories to read to a sick child, but that in the stories he would come upon "unexpectedly, and before one was aware of it, upon some passage so mournful or sad or pathetic that it undid at a sentence all the good which had been done my luckier reading" (page 45). The premise being that happy stuff makes you well mentally which then makes you well physically. So the author created an Anthology that was an "English Bed-Book" because "English Literature is Par Excellence the literature of Happiness"(page 81).
