The Broken vase, and other stories: for children and youth

About this book

Written for children and young people, this collection uses moral tales to teach honesty, humility, charity, and good conduct. When Frank knocks over his mother’s treasured vase while reaching for a butterfly, fear prompts him to blame the cat, turning a lesson about truthfulness into a family scene. At Belleville School, Arabella Clarke’s pride makes her difficult company, while Little Bertram sets a weathered pilgrim apart from the splendor of a knightly hall.
