Worth Waiting For

This is a gem of a book. There are six stories set in fantasy genre. The stories are beautifully descriptive and revelling in sweet truths that can inspire our daughters of today to moral excellence and encourage them in the old-fashioned values of purity and steadfastness. It may be difficult to find, but well worth the wait.

Some great morals+stories

I got this book in search of a girls book of virtues type thing, and found a book of several stories, the best of which is 'The Jester's Quest' a story about a 'knight in shining armor' who sets out to make himself worthy of his fathers sword. After many quest's he gets sick and becomes a cripple. Unable to return to his father, he wanders until he comes to a town where the jester teaches him to appriciate the world and to find happiness in making others happy. It isn't the normal happy ending, but it's one of the best stories I've ever read. I'd say it's worth buying the book just to get this story.
