This tale was a bit didactic and simplistic for my current age, but I think i might have enjoyed it as a child.
"Why the Chimes Rang' is a sweet, sweet story that still makes me cry. It is my favorite in this book, but there are other good ones. It is probably dated now, but I don't care. I love this story.

Old fashioned morality tales for children. I loved them. I will look for this one to own.
A straightforward practical account of traditional verse, with more attentrion to the technical side than is common nowadays
