The Angel Of The Iceberg

Born of nineteenth-century America’s revival fervour, The Angel of the Iceberg gathers John Todd’s memorable tales for the young into a Christian moral story anthology. With the directness of a pastor and the imagination of a born storyteller, Todd shapes simple incidents into vivid pictures of choice, consequence and grace. These are stories that stay. Each narrative quietly presses home Christian moral truths, inviting children and adults alike to consider the state of the heart and the hope of redemption.Rooted in 19th century Christian literature yet remarkably accessible, these Victorian children’s tales blend earnest instruction with a keen sense of the struggles of youth. Themes of duty, temptation, repentance and new life unfold in stories of sin and redemption that echo Pilgrim’s Progress style stories and later Lamplighter style Christian tales. Ideal as Sunday school reading or a Christian family read aloud, this classic religious story collection offers gentle but searching character building lessons without losing its narrative pull.John Todd, a noted Congregational minister, wrote for a generation hungry for plain guidance in faith and conduct, and his influence helped shape classic American children’s book culture. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. For lovers of 19th century Christian literature and those seeking stories to share with the next generation, The Angel of the Iceberg remains an enduring treasure.
