History
Published in 1947, Treasures of the Kingdom was edited by Catholic priest and author T. Everett Harré, who assembled a collection of uplifting stories exploring faith, hope, forgiveness, charity, courage, and love. Rather than focusing on a single author, Harré selected memorable works from internationally recognized writers including Leo Tolstoy, Henry Van Dyke, Mary Roberts Rinehart, Edna Ferber, Frances Hodgson Burnett, and many others. This anthology was intended to inspire readers in the years following World War II, when books emphasizing hope and compassion found a particularly appreciative audience. Today it remains a thoughtful snapshot of mid-century inspirational literature and is a wonderful addition to a vintage home library or religious book collection.
