Books with title The Mouse Mansion

Short, sweet and to the point, The Mansion is a novelette by Henry van Dyke that teaches a very simple--yet oft forgotten--lesson. John Weightman is Scrooge taken to the next level. He is the kind of charitable soul who gives 'to be seen of men' and considers doing good a solid investment if done prudently. Anonymous service is certainly not on his agenda. That all changes when Weightman has his own epiphany, opening his eyes to the reality and consequences of his choices. The Mansion is truly a lovely story. Quick and easy to read, but its impact will linger on. It puts worldly achievements and possessions into proper perspective, reminding readers of the true spirit in which life should be lived, at Christmas and all other times.

In this classic and timeless story, the great Henry van Dyke sets forth the ideals of kindness, sympathy, fellowship, and self-sacrifice that permeate the human soul. In our struggle to live our lives, The Mansion presents a message about the importance of charity to remind us of the true spirit of giving and family. The Mansion is a “must read” right along with another all time favorite, Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. >> Search for "lady valkyrie" in the books section of Amazon to see all of our latest titles and series of books. >>> Visit ladyvalkyrie.com for our latest offerings in both paper and electronic formats!

Excerpt from The MansionAt the same time there was something self pleased and congratulatory in the way in which the mansion held its own amid the changing neighborhood. It almost seemed to be lifted up a little, among the tall buildings near at hand, as if it felt the rising value of the land on which it stood.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
