Three Tales for Children

by Leo Tolstoy

Overview

This collection of three stories, written for older children, does not shy away from asking demanding questions. The strong narrative drive holds the attention initially but when the story is finished, there are questions to be asked about justice and faith -- (God Sees the Truth, but Waits), fortitude -- (A Prisoner in the Caucasus) and finally pity -- (The Bear-Hunt).
These simply told but complex stories are a fitting introduction to one of the world's great authors.
