What is The Angel and Other Stories about?

An angel helps a young child select flowers from earth to bring along to heaven and helps the child understand which ones may be the most beloved in heaven. <p>An uneducated shepherd learns that his simple prayers honor God as much as any scholar's.</p> <p>An irrepressible acrobat whose antics displease the monks in the monastery receives a blessing from the Virgin Mary when he offers her his gift.</p> <p> These tales and more are included in The Angel and Other Stories. This collection of ten folktales with spiritual themes offers memorable examples of the wonder of faith, the power of kindness, and the breadth of God's grace. The stories have been thoughtfully gathered and retold by Sue Stauffacher from such classic sources as Count Leo Tolstoy, Oscar Wilde, Hans Christian Anderson, Henri Pourrat, and Fyodor Dostoyevsky. With luminous illustrations by Leonid Gore, The Angel and Other Stories would be a beautiful addition to any child's library.</p> <p>Retellings of folktales which reflect Christian oral traditions from fifteenth and sixteenth century Europe, </p>
