A Compendium of Short Stories in Rhyme

This Compendium of Short Stories in Rhyme presents 15 short stories in rhyme originally written in the Lithuanian language by Kostas Kubilinskas (1923 - 1962), a talented children's writer in poetry, who draws on verses to send joyful and meaningful messages to children (and, presumably, not only children) to engage their minds. All featuring vivid storylines and some being predicated on folklore, these short stories in rhyme espouse a variety of virtues such as kindness, readiness to lend a helping hand, honesty, prudence, industriousness, and many more. Though your journey of exploring different aspects of life is to begin by reading this book, you ought to be prepared to be drawn into exploration beyond it. Rendered into English with commentary. When reading some of the short stories, Lithuania's historical context of those days should be remembered, and not forgotten. For educators, children, and their parents.
