The Straggler: The Decline of Stuff

Catholic Parent magazine praised the first “Treasury” as an “excellent, wholesome” book filled with “wonderful children’s stories that will delight, entertain and nourish your youngsters and teenagers.” And the Wall Street Journal heartily endorsed both books (and our “Bedtime” book!) thusly: they’ll “excite in children an appreciation for the human condition.” Every story in these two volumes—whether about knights and princesses, giants or dwarfs, beggars and angels, whether tales of daring and silliness … or even saintliness, with brave girls defending their country and intrepid boys risking their lives to rescue others—is wholesome, and will entertain, instruct, and inspire. Why not inspire a deserving young child—give him NR’s Classic Children’s Literature treasuries!
