Little Foxes: Stories for Boys and Girls

A collection of short, conversational talks aimed at children that examine everyday habits and moral smallness that accumulate into character, each brief chapter treating a specific fault or virtue—slovenliness, temper, selfishness, dishonesty, thanklessness, cowardice, impurity, procrastination—and urging steady small acts of care. The author uses simple anecdotes, concrete illustrations, and occasional longer pieces about soldiers and named sketches to show how little choices shape life, offering practical advice suited to Sunday-school or bedtime reading and emphasizing that minor repeated actions make or mar a person's character.
