1913 Children's Story ~ Buckwheat Boy

I have seen references to the classic "Gingerbread Man" story in the late 1800s.  This 1913 reader presents children the same story, but calls the cookie "Buckwheat Boy".   In Europe during this era, it was probably more common for a child to hear "Buckwheat Biscuit" as opposed to 'gingerbread cookie' (although they are one in the same).

I have always enjoyed a classic story and this one, I hope, will continue to be shared - in one form or another - for generations to come.

I hope you enjoy!
