These ten stories from a variety of sources all have spiritual themes. Some, such as Hans Christian Andersen's "The Angel," are only slightly changed, but others differ dramatically from the original. This is a somber collection of stories in which God or angels visit humans to give rewards or teach virtues. Gore's ethereal paintings establish and reinforce the tone of the work.
