Overview
Reece's Vintage Tales, a sequel to the award-winning Reece's Timeless Tales, is a collection of ten original and two adapted children's stories. The tales are refreshingly humorous, inventive and exciting, written with zest and with an unexpected plot twist that will keep readers, young and not-so-young, entertained. Three of the stories have Christian underpinnings. There is a glossary at the end of each story so that the young readers can expand their vocabulary with the occasional hard words found.
