In Happy Homes and the Hearts That Make Them, Samuel Smiles promotes such old-fashioned virtues as honor, duty, honesty, and hard work. Old-fashioned, maybe, but needed more than ever in a modern world gone mad with corruption and superficiality. A must-have reference for families everywhere, Happy Homes is far more than a rosy look at days gone by. It is an inspiring compendium of practical wisdom that can make a real difference in the life of anyone who takes the time and care to put it into use. Newly designed and typeset by Waking Lion Press.
