Worth While Stories for Every Day by Lawton B. Evans
"Worth While Stories for Every Day" by Lawton B. Evans is a collection of moral tales and fables aimed at children, compiled and edited in the early 20th century. This anthology contains various stories that impart life lessons through engaging narratives featuring both human characters and animals, such as the woodpecker, rabbit, and King Arthur. Each story captures themes of kindness, hard work, personal responsibility, and the importance of helping others. The
opening portion of the work begins with an emphasis on the art of storytelling, providing storytellers with guidelines for effective narration. It also sets the tone for the collection by introducing a series of stories that reflect on moral values through simple yet profound premises. Among the initial tales are those of "The Beautiful Hand," where the emphasis is on the beauty of one's actions rather than appearances, followed by fables that explore concepts of teamwork, the consequences of selfishness, and the importance of community. These opening narratives exemplify the book's overarching goal to educate and entertain young readers while instilling ethical and social values. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
