Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Worth While People
It is a book of world stories, ranging in its themes from strange tales of history and the daily life of America to scenes in Europe, India, China, and Japan. It is a series of pictures of brave hearts with other tales all illustrating acts from motives that make life richer and happier. Mr. Gould's story-telling is always to the point and interesting, a happy mingling of good things from history, biography, and the happenings of the daily life about us. For these are chiefly stories of the real world, not fiction, but tales of things done by worth while people.
