About the Stories in The Children’s Character-Building Collection

One of the best gifts you could ever give a child are the eleven stories of our renowned, classic 19th century Children’s Character-Building Collection.  And this new printing of the collection is the highest-quality edition of them ever done. All 11 volumes have beautiful new art, hand-painted covers. This is our all-time favorite set of children’s stories from last century, and all with fresh artwork that captures the feel of that era!

Each of these delightful volumes is full of Biblical truth, presented in the most winsome possible stories. These have warmed the heart and instructed the mind of hundreds of thousands of children.  The reading level for this set is often said to be 4th – 5th grade.  But we find children of all ages enjoy them, and even adults often tell us they find them delightful to read.  They make wonderful read-alouds to children from K through 3rd grade too.
