Rating:  Summary: are these the morals our children should be learning about? Review: This book is supposedly filled with "morals," but how can we expect our children to grow up being civilized creatures with the vile things that garbage, such as this book, instructs us and our children to adhere to. Don't buy this book unless you already have your own firm morals that you can use to judge Mr. Bennet's trash against!
Rating:  Summary: Buy it for someone you love. Review: This book, and its predecessor, The Book of Virtues, are indispensable to your family's library. I gave them both to my entire family for Christmas last year, and kept one of each for myself. Whether you simply value good literature, yearn for the stuff of your youth (or your grandmother's youth), or desire quality stories to share with your nieces, nephews and grandchildren, you need both of these books.
Rating:  Summary: Not quite as good as the first, but well worth reading. Review: This is the companion book to Bennett's best selling The Book of Virtues. This volume is like a continuing education course for readers of the original Bennett compilation. I have to say, I didn't like it quite as well as The Book of Virtues, but then, when is the sequel ever as good as the original? Like the original, you will recognize some of the work here. Authors such as Hans Christian Anderson, Washing Irving, Thomas Jefferson and Robert Lewis Stephenson Like the original volume, this book should be required reading in every High School in America and belongs in everyone's home library.
