These stories for boys were originally compiled in 1877 and were updated, and for the first time illustrated, in 1910. This is a reprint of that original 1910 edition, containing over 100 illustrations. 35 character-building stories, each of which brings the point in a delightful and memorable tale.

“I received this book as a birthday gift when I was 12 years old. The stories inside are great! Some of my favorites were/are ‘With a will, Joe!’ and ‘Somebody’s Mother’ This book encouraged me as a young man to live a courageous life of character. Even now that I’m in my 20’s, I still find myself picking up this book and reading. I definitely recommend this book for all boys and young men!”

“I bought this book for my son who’s 10 years old and he loved it! There was one story where he even had tears in his eyes. I just love the old fashioned stories which are filled with the richness of godly character for today’s children to emulate.”
