"Story Lessons on Character-Building (Morals) and Manners" by Loïs Bates is a compilation of late 19th-century stories intentionally designed to instill morals and manners in children. The book uses accessible tales to demonstrate the importance of virtues like honesty, obedience, and kindness. Opening with a magical story about fairies constructing a temple from stones representing different virtues, the book transitions into simple narratives featuring children in everyday situations such as listening to their internal moral compass.
