Reader reviews for The Book of Virtues for Young People: A Treasury of Great Moral Stories

From the publisher

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.

First line

Self-discipline is the virtue we use to manage ourselves and the different parts of our lives.
