39 short stories, collected during the 1800s by Annie Brooks in her own reading as a young girl. Taking the reader from India to Germany to the New England colonies, with tales of regal queens and families in poverty, each is full of valuable lessons your little girl won't forget. These touching incidents convey truths on a wide range of character traits, winsomely blended into stories about openly talking with your mother, taking medicine patiently, weeping with others who weep, using spare moments well, not forgetting to pray, tender love for pets, never being afraid during a storm, and many, many more.
