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 nineteenth-century Children’s Character Building Collection. 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, sure to warm the heart and teach the mind of every family member. 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.
