Leo Tolstoy

Author: Leo Tolstoy
Stars: 3
Review by: Miss Lucy

From the "Stories for Young People" series, this charmingly-illustrated children's book contains five short stories, although they do not seem appropriate for young children. I enjoyed reading these, especially "How Much Land Does a Man Need?" and "Three Questions." The first story, "God Sees the Truth, but Waits," is actually adapted from a story that one of the characters told in War and Peace.
Don't get this book confused with Tolstoy's other children's book, The Lion and the Puppy: And Other Stories for Children. That book is terrible.
