Pansy

Sixty-two short pieces, many/most of them originally published in The Pansy, a magazine for children. The topics are many and varied, but mostly involve children and teach a moral lesson. (Summary by TriciaG)
PARENTAL WARNING: A couple stories, such as "Gertie's Sober Talk" and "Old Jack", are about animals that die or are put down, and who don't have souls.

Reviews
K
Children stories: historically interesting and with points for conversation starters. Topics that real children would conform: truth, pride, competition.
A LibriVox Listener
I love the way it is relatable to situations these days, as well as learning of the past
