The book of virtues for young people

A treasury of great moral stories

Bennett, William J., ed. 1997. The book of virtues for young people: a treasury of great moral stories. New York: Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers.

This exciting collection of fables, folktales, and poems, collected by William J. Bennett, illustrates some of the best human values: courage, honesty, work, friendship, and loyalty.

With writings by great authors—among them Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Anne Frank, Horatio Alger, Helen Keller, and Aesop—these works, some old and some new, will always have great meaning for young people as they make their way through life.
