Book excerpt: The books in this series are copies of 18th and 19th century books. The stories have the original language, sentence structure, and art. The stories present problems people faced, and the principles they preached are as relevant today as they were then. May God be pleased to bless the contents of our "Children's Heritage Series" to the lives of each reader. Webster's warning was given many years ago; times have changed, but not in a Godly manner. The mission of Triangle Press is to furnish concerned parents tools to help teach children the truth. This "Children's Heritage Series" has not been rewritten as the Character Building Series was, but the books are reproduced in their original form; a form which some feel is antiquated. True. However, they represent not only the teachings of Godly principals, but they also represent a piece of our history and heritage. The vocabulary contained in these books is rich and varied; it is a far cry from the usual limited and bland use of words found in much of today's children's literature. Some children may even be challenged to rewrite a story in modern grammar; the stories may also be used as a springboard for family study and discussion. There are many aspects of this "Children's Heritage Series" to be cherished. The four stories in this book bring an insight into the faith and lives of people living in very different times. Many times the poor man's cottage is God's palace, and there people have learned valuable lessons of faith and hope and witnessed God's wisdom, power, and goodness. Since its first publication, in the early 1800's in England, these stories were translated into most of the European languages. We are told they alsoobtained a wide circulation in America; the old and the new world alike have stamped it with the seal of popular approval. At home, several editions of 20,000 copies each were printed within a very short period, and the copies which have been circulated in the English language alone are estimated at two million. It has found its way to the palaces of kings, and it has been seen in the hut of the North American Indian. Its author was informed of thirty instances in which it was acknowledged to have been instrumental to the conversion of its readers, of whom one was a female convict at Botany Bay.
