Look inside…<\/a><\/p>\n

Description:  <\/span>Offers stories about real persons who actually lived and performed their parts in the great drama of the world’s history. Some of these persons were more famous than others, yet all have left  enduring footprints on  the ‘sands of time,’ and their names will be long remembered. Though not strictly biographical, each of the stories contains a basis of truth and an ethical lesson which cannot fail to have a wholesome influence. Each also possesses elements of interest that will delight the children with whom it is shared.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
