Easter Stories Book Review


Disclosure: I was provided this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

About the Book

Everyone who believes Easter is about more than Easter egg hunts will be grateful for this new anthology of short stories that illumine the true meaning of the season. Selected for their spiritual value and literary quality, these classic tales capture the spirit of Holy Week and Easter in a way that will captivate readers of all ages. Parents and grandparents will find that children love to hear these stories read aloud, year after year.

Easter Stories includes time-honored favorites from world-famous storytellers such as C.S. Lewis, Leo Tolstoy, Selma Lagerlof, Oscar Wilde, Elizabeth Goudge, Maxim Gorky, Ruth Sawyer, Anton Chekhov, and Walter Wangerin – as well as many you’ve never heard before. Illustrated with original woodcuts. Easter stories is over 350 pages long! You can view the entire Table of Contents here.

What We Liked

I love that this book contained stories that take place throughout history and from around the world. I also like that all the stories are short enough to read one or two before bed. We can also incorporate them into our Easter-themed learning activities, where we usually read a story and create an art craft. It's interesting to see an Easter book sticking to one theme, which is of course the "true meaning" of Easter and the Christian faith, rather than a mixture of faith-based and regular Easter stories. This is a wonderful collection of stories that families will want to read every Easter!
