Within The Gates
Published by McDougall's Educational: London c1930 (undated)

"Within the Gates" is the fifth volume of the Gateways to Bookland series published by McDougall's Educational Company Ltd in 1930. The series is a ten‑volume anthology designed to help parents, teachers and pupils explore classic literature through themed "journeys" that combine selected excerpts with reading aids, discussion points and activities goodreads.com. Each book presents a particular motif that frames the readings; the overall goal is to develop comprehension, moral insight and a love of books in elementary‑school learners.

In Book 5 - Within the Gates, the motif of "gates" is used as a metaphor for entering new worlds of story. The volume gathers tales and poems that feature literal or figurative gateways—such as enchanted doors, castle portals, and thresholds that separate ordinary life from adventure. Accompanying notes guide students to notice how crossing a gate often signals a change in perspective, a test of character, or the start of a quest. Activities encourage readers to imagine their own "gate" to a favorite story, reinforcing creative thinking while reinforcing the series' emphasis on structured reading and critical discussion."
